This painting shows a man's head and shoulders in profile. He has a strong nose and sideburns styled in tight curls. The portrait is very detailed, which suggests the artist took their time to get it right. The man's facial features are interesting because they're so precise. This was likely done to make the portrait feel more realistic. You can learn more about this style by looking at the work of artist: Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de.
