Portrait d'Auguste Poulet-Malassis
Legros, Alphonse, 1837-1911 · [ca. 1854–1911]
Front view, hair thrown back, with moustaches and goatee; high-necked clothing. Signed at left "A. Legros." Copper destroyed after an edition of a dozen proofs a different states; on the last ones, the model is figured a little more serious than ordinary, and has added this epigrammatic maxim: One must always keep his seriousness with fools (in French and signed.)
