Edwin Edwards is a 1874 ink by Alphonse Legros, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This portrait shows a man with long hair and a mustache, wearing a loose-fitting shirt. He sits in front of a dark background, which contrasts with his lighter clothing. The image is rendered in dark lines and shading, giving it a sense of depth and texture. The subject's expression is calm and introspective, and his eyes seem to gaze off into the distance. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the man is lost in thought.
