Head of a Man (Possible Portrait of Professor E.D. Adams)

Legros employed a range of techniques, combining black and red chalk, yellow-green crayon, and graphite on orange-pink paper. The use of light shading and varied line work creates a sense of depth and texture, capturing the subject's wrinkles and facial structure.

Alphonse Legros, a French-born artist naturalized in Britain, was a versatile artist who contributed to the British etching revival and art education in London. This drawing reflects his engagement with various artistic media and techniques.
