This portrait shows Charles Carroll in a side profile with a calm face. He has big white curls and a noticeable nose. The artist used a lot of detail to make this small portrait. The portrait is special because it's from 1804 and is very small, measuring about 5.56 × 5.56 cm. This makes it interesting because the artist had to be very careful with the details. You can learn more about this technique by looking into engraving.
