About this work

This painting shows Robert Gamble, Jr. in profile. He's facing to the side, so we see his nose and jawline clearly. The artist took time to get the details right, like the shape of his ear and the curve of his hair. The portrait is interesting because it gives us a glimpse of what people looked like back then. We can see the style of his hair and clothes, which can tell us about the time period. To learn more about this style of portrait, look into the work of artist: Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de.
