National Gallery of Art

The image contains a head-and-shoulders portrait of an individual facing slightly left, with the head turned towards the viewer. The person has a high forehead, arched eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, a narrow nose, and slightly parted lips. The individual has short, curly hair styled away from the face, and is dressed in a garment with a fur-lined collar and richly-textured fabric. There is no visible jewelry or objects, and the portrait is set within an oval frame with a patterned border. Below the portrait, a nameplate reads "S. N. H. LINGUET" along with biographical information. The background is textured and neutral.
