About this work

This painting is called Head of a Bald Man with a Beard. It was made by Alphonse Legros in 1906. The artist used pen, brown ink, and wash over graphite to create it. I don't know what the man looks like, but I know it's a portrait. The portrait is a visual genre, which means it's a picture of a person. The artist chose to draw a bald man with a beard, which is an interesting choice. You can learn more about the artist's style by looking at the work of artist: Legros, Alphonse.
