About this work

This painting shows a person, Joseph E. G. M. de la Grange. He is the main focus of the artwork. The artist used a lot of detail to create this small portrait, which is only about 5.56 cm square. The detail in the portrait is interesting because it was made using a technique that involves scratching lines into a metal plate. This allowed the artist to create very fine details. You can learn more about this technique by looking into the work of the artist: Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de.
