About this work

This painting shows a man, Henry Cary, looking straight at us. He's dressed in old-fashioned clothes. The details in his face and clothes are very precise, which is interesting because it suggests the artist paid close attention to what he was drawing - I don't know much about the artist, but this level of detail is notable. The artist used a technique to create this image, which is similar to what you'd see if you looked up the technique: engraving.
