Portrait of a Man, 1800. Creator: Jean-Baptiste Jacques Augustin (French, 1759-1832)
Portrait of a Man, 1800. Although the size of this carefully worked crayon drawing is modest, it is actually much larger than a typical work by Jean-Baptiste Augustin. As a leading painter of ivory portrait miniatures in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, Augustin stood out because of the precision and naturalism of his style. Although the sitter in this drawing is no longer known, Augustins naturalistic technique and the sitters slight, easy smile encourage a familiar connection with the viewer
