Thomas Claiborne

Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

This portrait shows a man's head and upper body in profile, from the chest up, positioned in a right-facing stance. The man has wavy, light-colored hair styled away from his face, revealing his forehead and ear. His facial features include a prominent nose, and his expression is neutral with a slightly forward gaze. He wears a formal dark coat with large buttons and a high collar, along with a white cravat at the neck. The background is a plain, dark circular shape. Below the image is the handwritten name "Th. Clayborn."
