This is a black and white etching or lithograph of a figure dressed in 19th-century attire. The individual is wearing a dark coat with a broad lapel that is stylishly thrown back to reveal a waistcoat. Beneath the waistcoat, a white, high-collared shirt and a cravat tied in a bow are visible. The clothing suggests a certain level of formality and social status typical of the era. At the bottom of the image, there is text that provides some information. It says "Al. Aug. Agr. DUMAS", which likely refers to the individual's name or the creator of the piece, followed by "Fondateur de l'École de Notariat à Nîmes", which indicates that this person is the founder of a notary school in Nîmes, a city in France. This style of portrait is very characteristic of the prints and etchings that were popular in Europe in the 1800s, often used to portray people of note or significance for posterity or mass distribution. The fine lines and shading indicate it was created by a skilled artist.
