National Gallery of Art

The image features an engraved portrait of a man in profile view, facing right. The man has curly hair, styled up and back, sideburns, a high forehead, prominent nose, and is wearing spectacles. He is dressed in a high-collared coat with a prominent lapel, a cravat with ruffled details at the neck. A circular border frames the portrait against a plain background, with a handwritten label naming "Peter Tayolle" below.
