This engraving shows a man in a right-facing profile. His coat has a high collar and his hair is swept back. The image is printed in black on paper. The artist used a technique called mezzotint. It makes smooth, rich blacks like this possible. You can see the fine details in his hair and coat. Look up Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de.
