This painting shows a man with curly hair in a dark coat. He's looking straight ahead with a calm face. The artist used a small scale to create this portrait, which is historically significant. The portrait is interesting because it's a detailed image despite its small size. The man's features are clearly defined, and his curly hair is neatly rendered. You can learn more about this style by looking at the work of artist: Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de.
