This painting shows a portrait of John Sutton. He's looking straight at us with a calm face. The artist used a lot of detail to make him look real. The portrait is very small, measuring only about 5.56 × 5.56 cm. This makes it special because it's so detailed despite its size. The artist had to be very careful to get everything just right. You can learn more about the artist who made this by looking up Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de.
