Französische Malerei 1809–1830, 1808

This painting is a portrait of a man. His body is turned towards the right, but he looks directly at us. He has fair skin and dark brown hair with two curling pieces falling onto his forehead. He has well-defined eyebrows, brown eyes, a straight nose, a cleft chin, and light red lips in a neutral expression. He is wearing a dark coat with a high collar that is edged in a yellow and green pattern. Under the coat, he wears a white cravat tied in a voluminous knot. The background is a plain brown color.
