You see a man sitting in a chair, holding a small snuff box. He's dressed in fancy clothes, looking relaxed. The man's face is gentle, his eyes are calm. The painting is interesting because it shows what people wore back then. The clothes and the snuff box tell us about the time period. Check out the work of artist Louis Aubert (French) to learn more.
