About this work

This painting shows a head and torso portrait of T.S. Dupuis. It's an old print from 1797. The subject is looking straight ahead, with a calm expression. The artist likely used a simple technique to create this portrait, and it's interesting that we don't know much about the subject, T.S. Dupuis, or why this portrait was made. You can learn more about this kind of portrait by looking into the technique: sfumato.
