This painting shows James Brown, Sr. in a right profile. He's wearing a dark coat over a light ruffled shirt. The background is simple and circular. The artist used a lot of detail to create this portrait. It's interesting that the portrait is very small, measuring only 5.72 × 5.56 cm. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique: engraving.
