About this work

This painting shows a person with short, curly hair and a prominent nose. The person is viewed from the upper body, with a defined chin. The artist used a lot of detail to make the face look realistic. The portrait is small, measuring only 5.72 × 5.56 cm. It's interesting that the artist was able to fit so much detail into such a small space. This suggests the artist had a lot of skill and practice.
