About this work

This portrait shows a man with a serious face. He's dressed in old-fashioned clothes. The artist made this portrait using a special technique. The portrait is very small, only about 5.5 cm square. This makes it hard to see the details, but it's still a good picture. The artist had to be very careful when making it. You can learn more about this technique by looking up the work of Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de.
