This portrait shows a man in profile. He's looking straight ahead, and his face is well-defined. The artist used a lot of detail to make this small portrait. The portrait is small, only about 5.5 cm square. It's made with mezzotint and engraving on paper, which was a common technique back then. This technique allowed for a lot of detail in a small space. You can learn more about this style by looking at the work of artist: Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de.
