This painting shows a man's face, looking straight at us. He's wearing old-fashioned clothes and a serious expression. The artist made this portrait using a special method to get lots of detail. The portrait is interesting because it's a good example of how people were painted a long time ago. The artist, Saint-Mémin, was skilled at making small portraits, like this one and a miniature on ivory. To learn more about this style, look up the technique: engraving.
