About this work

This painting shows Charles Le Brun. It's an engraving over etching on laid paper, which is a pretty old technique. The artist, Augustin de Saint-Aubin, made this in 1805, and it's interesting because he was only 26 years old when he made it, and also the same year he died. You can learn more about this technique by looking up the process of etching.
