This painting shows a profile portrait of an older man. The man is John Cruger, and what's interesting is that the artist used a small scale to create a detailed portrait. The size of the artwork is only 5.56 × 5.56 cm, which makes the details even more impressive. You can learn more about this technique by looking into the work of artist: Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de.
