Description: An ORIGINAL drawing of a mid-19th century gentleman, 8 1/2" by 5 7/8" (16" by 13 1/2" framed), signed at lower right by the well-listed French-born artist, etcher and sculptor, ALPHONSE LEGROS (1837-1911). The drawing is primarily in soft pencil, with some watercolor in the suggestion of a chair, and some faint red in the face area. Legros was born in Dijon in eastern France. He was in Paris while still young, exposed to the art world there. By 1863 he had moved to London, where he achieved recognition, while teaching etching at the Slade School. Today Legros is known for his etchings, drawings and sculpture. This drawing is in antique condition, with two tiny round holes (similar to worm holes) in the paper, and some discoloration/mottling of the paper in the field. Allow for reflections in a few images.
