This painting shows a man in a side profile. He's dressed in old-fashioned clothes. The artist used a lot of detail to make the picture look realistic, which is interesting because it's very small, measuring only 5.72 × 5.72 cm. The small size makes it special. The artist had to be careful with every line. You can learn more about this technique by looking up the work of artist: Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de.
