You see a man in profile with curly light hair and a dark coat. He has a white cravat and the background is circular. The man's portrait is detailed, which makes it interesting because it shows the artist's skill in engraving. The artist included the names "L. Possell" and "Levin" in the background, which might be the man's names or the people who made the portrait. This adds a layer of complexity to the simple portrait. To learn more about this style of portrait, look up the work of artist: Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de.
Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin (French pronunciation: ; 1770–1852) was a French portrait painter and museum director.
