This painting shows a man with a high forehead and curly hair, wearing a dark coat. He has a prominent nose and a white cravat. The details in this portrait are very realistic, which makes it interesting - the artist used tiny lines to create texture and depth. The artist paid close attention to the man's face and clothes. This helps us see the person clearly. To learn more about this style, look up the technique: engraving.
