This portrait shows a woman's face in detail. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears a simple dress. The artist used a lot of lines to create texture and depth in the picture. The mezzotint technique allows for subtle variations in tone. This was a tricky process that required a lot of skill to get right. It's interesting that the artist was able to achieve such a detailed image using this method. You can learn more about this style by looking into the work of artist: Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de.
Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin (French pronunciation: ; 1770–1852) was a French portrait painter and museum director.
