This painting shows a man with a serious expression. He's dressed in old-fashioned clothes. The artist made this lithograph in 1816, which is a pretty old technique - it involves drawing on stone to create a print. The subject of the painting is Marie-Philippe Coupin de La Couperie, and I'm not sure what he did, but he looks important. You can learn more about how this was made by looking into the technique: lithography.
