About this work

This painting shows Charles Carroll, Jr. in a side profile with a calm expression. He has voluminous white hair and a prominent nose. The artist used a lot of detail to create this portrait, which is interesting because it's very small, measuring only 5.56 × 5.56 cm. This small size makes the level of detail even more impressive. You can learn more about this technique by looking into engraving.
