This portrait shows a man with a serious expression. He's dressed in simple clothing and has a subtle smile. The artist used a lot of detail to create this small image, which is interesting because it's so tiny - only about 5.7 cm wide. The small size makes you wonder how the artist did it. The artist had to be very careful with each line and shade. You can learn more about this style by looking at 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.
