About this work

This painting shows a portrait of Théodore Chollet. He's dressed formally and looks straight ahead. The artist used a lot of detail to create this small portrait. The portrait is very small, only about 5.5 cm square. This suggests the artist was skilled at working on a tiny scale. The level of detail is impressive given the size. You can learn more about this technique by looking into the work of artist: Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de.
