O obrazie

In 1863, Legros visited London where he found admirers and patrons, notably the Ionides family, and was ardently promoted by the brothers Dante Gabriel Rossetti and William Michael Rossetti. An etcher, a painter and a sculptor, he succeeded Edward John Poynter (1836-1919) at the Slade School in 1876 and was naturalized as a British citizen in 1880.

This work is a fine example of Legros' portraits of scholars and artists of his time. The sitter is the poet Robert Browning. This work was probably executed as one of Legros' famous timed head-studies, a method he developed while lecturing at the Slade School. The artist gave this portrait to the Museum, probably to enrich its collections of educational materials as the museum included at the time a School of Design.
