About this work

You see a head-and-shoulders portrait of a man. The portrait is small, only about 5.56 × 5.56 cm. It's interesting because it was made using a combination of mezzotint and engraving techniques, which were common during that time. The artist likely chose these techniques to create detailed lines and textures. You can learn more about this technique by looking up the work of artist: Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de.
