Richard Brent

Charles B.J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows the upper half of a man's torso in profile, facing to the right. The man is depicted sitting or standing upright, with his head turned slightly towards his right shoulder. He has neatly styled hair with a wave, sideburns, a distinct nose, and a firm chin. He is wearing a coat with button details over a high-collared shirt with a cravat. The background is plain gray, and at the bottom are the handwritten words "Richard Brent" and the signature "R. Breed."
