This painting shows a man's upper body in profile. He's looking straight ahead, and we can see his nose and mouth. The artist used a lot of detail to make the man's face look real. The man in the portrait is George Way, but we don't know much about him. The artist, Saint-Mémin, made this portrait in 1807, which is a long time ago. To learn more about portraits like this, look up the technique: engraving.
