Simon Charles Miger after Adélaïde Labille-Guiard

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an engraved portrait of a man. He is positioned frontally with his head turned slightly to the left. The man appears middle-aged, with styled, wavy hair and a composed expression. He is dressed in formal attire from an earlier time period and is framed within a large oval border with a detailed etched pattern. Below the portrait is a sculpted surface with inscribed text and a decorative design. The background consists of a finely detailed, cross-hatched pattern.
