This portrait shows a man's face, detailed and serious. He's dressed in old-fashioned clothes, with a high collar. The artist used mezzotint and engraving to create this image, which is a technique that involves scraping a metal plate to create different tones - in this case, to show the subject's facial features and clothing folds. You can learn more about this style by looking at the work of artist: Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de.
