This painting shows a man's profile facing right. He has detailed facial features and a high-collared garment with a scarf. The artist paid close attention to the man's face, making it look very realistic. The man in the portrait is Thomas Thompson, and the artist used a lot of detail to make him look lifelike. The high-collared garment and scarf suggest he was a formal person. You can learn more about this style by looking at the work of artist: Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de.
