This is an oval portrait of a man. He has curly hair and is wearing a suit jacket and a white shirt with a lace collar. The background is dark. The man's face is turned to the left, and he appears to be looking at something in the distance. His expression is serious. The engraving is detailed, with intricate lines and textures that give the image depth and dimension. To learn more about the artist behind this work, look up Augustin de Saint-Aubin.
