This is a round portrait of a man with curly hair and a serious expression. He’s wearing a dark hat and a patterned jacket with a fur collar. The background is plain, keeping all focus on his face. The name at the bottom reads "Chemistocle Bisbeze," but it’s unclear who he was. The artist’s signature says "Dupre Jean Baptiste" in Paris. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow shape faces like this one.
