This painting shows Thomas Jefferson in profile. He's looking straight ahead, and his face is well-defined. The artist took time to get the details right, which is interesting because it was made from life, meaning the artist met Jefferson. The portrait is very accurate, which is notable. It gives us a clear idea of what Jefferson looked like. You can learn more about this technique by looking up the work of artist: Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de.
