From the collection of National Gallery of Art
E.D. Adams, 3rd plate is a 1874 ink by Alphonse Legros, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a portrait of a man with a mustache, wearing a dark jacket and a white shirt. The background is a light color with darker diagonal lines. The man's facial expression is neutral, and his hair is short and neatly combed. The portrait is rendered in a detailed and realistic style, with attention to the textures of the man's clothing and hair. The artist's use of diagonal lines in the background adds a sense of depth and energy to the portrait. To learn more about the artist's technique, look up etching.
