About this work

This painting shows a man in formal attire. He's dressed up, with a serious face. The artist used a profile view, which was a common way to portray people back then. This profile style makes the portrait feel a bit formal and old-fashioned. Check out the work of artist Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de, to see more examples of this style.
