This painting shows a man in profile with a big nose and curly hair. He's wearing a high-collared shirt and dark jacket. The man is John Carrere, and the portrait is very detailed. This portrait is interesting because it was made using a technique that creates lots of shading. The artist paid close attention to the subject's features. To learn more about this technique, look up the artist: Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de.
