About this work

The painting shows a man's head and upper torso in profile. He's wearing a dark coat and a light cravat. The man's face is serious, with a slight tilt to his head. This portrait is one of many small circular portraits by the artist. The details in the portrait, like the folds of the cravat, are carefully done. This suggests the artist paid close attention to the small things. The portrait is done using a technique that's similar to what you'd see in works by Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de.
