"Head of an Old Man" is an etching produced by the French-English artist Alphonse Legros around the late 19th century. As part Legros's significant contribution to the field of printmaking, this work exhibits the artist's proficiency in etching techniques and his attention to detail that is often seen in his character studies.

The piece captures the detailed visage of an elderly man, illustrating Legros's ability to render the human form with profound realism. "Head of an Old Man" reflects the dignity and character of its subject, showcasing the artist's skills in giving depth and personality to his subjects.

Demonstrating his influence by Rembrandt's works, Legros used the etching process, a distinct form of intaglio printmaking, to bring forth the intricate lines and shadows that characterize the depiction of the man's facial features. This work confirms the skill Legros had in manipulating this specific printmaking method to portray a rich and profound sense of texture and depth.

Despite being lesser-known amongst his oeuvre, "Head of an Old Man" appears to summarize Legros's artistic philosophy — a focus on simplicity, sincerity, and an emphasis on portraying common people with a sense of dignity and respect. A prime example of his unique style, this work continues to be a testament to his significant influence within the British etching revival of the late 19th century.

As the original piece has passed into private collections, reproductions of Legros's "Head of an Old Man" continue to circulate in print and digital formats, enabling broader appreciation of the work. Still, the precise provenance and year of creation remain uncertain as the piece is not thoroughly documented in the same manner as some of Legros's more famous works.

However, it continues to inspire present-day artists and curators interested in the enduring appeal of portraiture and the timeless tradition of printmaking embodied in Legros's work.
