Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image is an illustration of a man's side profile from the chest upwards. He is facing towards the right with his head slightly turned. The man has curly hair tied back at the nape of his neck. His facial features include a straight nose and a prominent forehead. He is wearing a dark coat with large buttons, a high collar, and a cravat around his neck. The background is a dark circle, contrasting with the lighter tones of his face and clothing. The name "Frey" is written in cursive at the bottom of the illustration.
