Head of a Man, 1886. Creator: Alphonse Legros (French, 1837-1911)
Head of a Man, 1886. It would be difficult to label this drawing as a portrait, an ideal head, or the transformation of a Renaissance figure into a contemporary person because the art of Alphonse Legros repeatedly combines these elements. The idealized beauty of the head evokes a Renaissance concept of perfection, and the use of the metal point technique harks back to that earlier time as well
