This small print shows a man’s head and shoulders in profile. He wears a dark coat and a white shirt. The background is plain with no distractions. The artist used a printing trick called cross-hatching. Fine lines build up dark and light areas. This gives the face a soft, rounded look. Look up the artist who made this print: Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de.
