Thomas Okey, Esq. is a 1903 ink by Alphonse Legros, held at National Gallery of Art.
This portrait is of a man with short dark hair, looking directly at the viewer. He is wearing a collared shirt and a tie, with a jacket or coat draped over his shoulders. The image is rendered in a warm, reddish-brown color, characteristic of a lithograph in sanguine. The subject's expression is serious, with a hint of a smile. His eyes seem to hold a sense of introspection, as if lost in thought. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, inviting the viewer to ponder the subject's inner world.
