This portrait shows a man with a big nose and curly hair, wearing old-fashioned clothes. He has a high-collared shirt and a cravat. The man's face is the focus, with a plain background behind him. The artist used a lot of detail to draw the man's clothes and hair. This was a common way to draw portraits back then, with lots of attention to what people wore. 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.
