This painting shows a man in profile with short curly hair. He's looking straight ahead, and his face is well-defined. The portrait is very detailed, which suggests the artist took their time. The artist used a technique to create lots of shading. This makes the subject's face look more realistic. You can learn more about this technique by looking into the work of artist: Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de.
