Lord A. Tennyson, 2nd plate is a 1874 ink by Alphonse Legros, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image is a portrait of a man with a long white beard and a black hat. He is wearing a dark jacket, and his face is turned slightly to the left. The background of the image is a solid color, which helps to focus attention on the subject. The man's facial expression is serious, and his eyes seem to be looking downward. His beard is long and white, and it is neatly trimmed. The hat he is wearing is black and has a wide brim. The image is an etching, which gives it a detailed and textured appearance. The artist has used a range of techniques to create a sense of depth and dimensionality in the image.
