You see a man wearing a high-collared coat and a neatly arranged cravat. He's set against a textured circular background with lighter outer areas. The artist used a lot of detail to show the folds in the man's clothes and the texture of his hair. The man in the picture is Neil MacNeal, and the artist made this portrait in 1809. The way the artist used shadows and light to show the details of Neil's face is interesting. Check out the work of artist: Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de.
