This print shows a man in a dark coat with a white collar. His face is calm, but his eyes look straight at you. The artist used a printmaking trick called cross-hatching. Tiny lines build up shadows and smooth skin tones. It makes the face pop against the dark background. Want to see more like this? Try looking up Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de.
