James Latimer

Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a side profile portrait of a man, focused on his upper body. He is seated or standing in a formal position, with his head turned slightly to the right. The man has distinguished facial features, a prominent nose, a strong jawline, and short curly hair tied at the back with a ribbon. He is wearing a dark coat with multiple buttons and a high white collar. The background is plain within a circular frame, and there is a separate strip of paper at the bottom with the handwritten name "James Latimer."
