This painting is a black and white profile portrait of a man. He faces left with a calm expression. His hair is short and neatly combed. The portrait is very detailed, showing the man's features clearly. It's a mezzotint, which is a type of print that creates smooth tones. To learn more about the artist's use of detailed lines, look up the technique: engraving.
