The painting shows a man's head and upper torso in profile. He is wearing a dark coat and a light cravat. The man's face is serious, and his eyes are cast downward. This portrait is one of many small circular portraits created by the artist. The artist used a technique that allowed for a lot of detail in a small space. The portrait is also interesting because it is a simple, yet detailed image. You can learn more about this style by looking at the work of artist: Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de.
