This is a black-and-white portrait of a man in a fancy, embroidered coat with wide cuffs. He stands confidently, one hand resting on his hip, while a curtain and decorative vase frame him from behind. The background shows a statue and a draped figure, adding a touch of drama. The name at the bottom reads *Charles Francois Paul Le Normant de Tournehem*, and the print was made in 1754. The artist used a method that creates fine lines and shading—likely etching. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Dupuis made detailed prints.
