About this work

This painting shows a portrait of a man. He's dressed in old-fashioned clothing. The portrait is special because it's a picture of William Henry Harrison, a future U.S. president, which is a notable fact about this artwork. The artist used a lot of detail to create this small portrait. The subject's face and clothing are carefully drawn. This attention to detail makes the portrait interesting. You can learn more about this technique by looking into the work of artist: Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de.
