This painting shows a man with a strong nose and pointed chin, wearing a high-collared coat. He has voluminous hair styled upwards. The man's portrait is set against a dark background with a lighter border, which makes him stand out. The portrait is very detailed, which suggests the artist spent a lot of time on it. The subject's clothing and hairstyle give clues about when the portrait was made. You can learn more about this style by looking at the work of artist: Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de.
