Description: | Signed: yes Description: This oil sketch by Alphonse Legros, a painter and printmaker, teacher and sculptor, who studied in France but settled in England, was probably executed at the same time as the other portrait by the artist in the Paisley collection, B20d (Portrait of John Polson Esq. of Westmont, 1879). Legros, under his appointment as a Professor of Fine Art at the Slade School of Art, gave lectures to the pupils of the Institute of Paisley in December 1879 (Paisley Gazette, September 1880). It is there that he produced quick studies, prints and oil sketches, such as this one, showing the artist's success in interpreting realist subjects. | Subjects: | portrait; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Legros, Alphonse (French painter, sculptor, printmaker, 1837-1911) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8513... | Go to resource |
