About this work

You see a tiny, dark portrait of a man in a coat. He faces left. The background is plain. The artist used fine lines to shade his face. This is a tiny print, only 5.6 cm square. It shows the detail you’d expect in a bigger painting. The artist made many portraits this way. Look up Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de next.
