This portrait shows Nahum Mitchell in profile. He's turned to the side, looking away from us. The artist used a lot of detail to draw him, it's a very precise portrait. The portrait is part of a collection of portraits made by the artist. This collection is interesting because it shows many people from the time period. The artist was trying to document what people looked like. You can learn more about this style by looking at 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.
