Portrait de Forain (Portrait of Forain)

Jean-Louis Forain

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man in profile from the shoulders up. He is turned slightly towards the viewer, with his face and the brim of his hat visible. The man has a pronounced nose, furrowed brow, and a focused gaze. His hair is concealed under the hat. He wears a cloak or coat with loose lines. There is no visible jewelry or objects, and the background is shaded, emphasizing the figure.
