EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a model from 1877, as seen through the lens of Alphonse Legros. The "Head of a Model" print, housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Arts in Minnesota, USA, showcases Legros' exceptional talent for capturing intricate details and emotions. Measuring at 15 x 10 13/16 inches (38.1 x 27.46 cm), this plate-sized artwork allows viewers to intimately engage with the subject's face. Every line and contour is meticulously preserved, revealing the model's timeless beauty and grace. Legros' expertise shines through in his ability to convey depth and texture solely through shades of black and white. The play between light and shadow adds an air of mystery to this portrait, leaving us yearning for more information about the enigmatic model. The William M. Ladd Collection generously gifted this masterpiece to the museum in 1916, thanks to Herschel V. Jones' contribution. This act ensures that future generations can appreciate Legros' artistic prowess while immersing themselves in a moment frozen in time. As we gaze upon this stunning print by Bridgeman Images on Fine Art Finder, we are transported back to an era where elegance reigned supreme – a testament to both Legros' skill as an artist and our enduring fascination with capturing human expression through artistry.
