About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man in profile. His face is turned slightly toward us, showing a neat powdered wig and a white cravat at his neck. The background is plain, just a dark oval shape around his head. The name "Charles Lameth" is written below the image, along with a note about him being a deputy at the National Assembly in 1796. The artist’s name, Bonneville, is signed in the corner. If you like this style, look up etching to see how artists create detailed prints like this.
