You see a man in formal clothes, with a white shirt and dark coat, in a circular frame. He's dressed up, with a high collar and a visible lapel. This kind of portrait was common back then, but the details make it interesting. The artist paid attention to the folds in the clothes and the expression on the man's face. Look up the work of artist: Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de, to see more portraits like this one.
Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin (French pronunciation: ; 1770–1852) was a French portrait painter and museum director.
