Portrait of the Artist with His Younger Brother, Augustin Saint-Aubin

Imitator of Gabriel Jacques de Saint-Aubin

National Gallery of Art

The drawing depicts two individuals from the waist up. One is leaning towards the right, looking downwards, while the other is facing left with a three-quarter profile, looking at the first person. The person on the left has a high forehead and detailed curls in their hair, tied at the back. The person on the right has a sharp nose and styled hair with curls. Both are wearing formal clothing, including coats with button details and textured fabric. The individual on the left appears to have a vest or waistcoat under their coat. The background has cross-hatched shading for contrast and depth.
