Georg Friedrich Schmidt after Antoine Pesne

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts the upper body of a man. He is turned slightly to his left, looking sideways. He has a round face, prominent cheeks, and a slightly upturned mouth. His short, curly hair is styled with a large, decorative hat with a feather. He is wearing a fur-collared coat with rich details, suggesting formality. The background is a plain, oval-shaped vignette, highlighting the subject, with no additional details present. The man is not wearing any visible jewelry nor holding any objects.
