Nicholas DuBois

Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image is a circular portrait of a man's upper body in profile, facing right. The man has distinct facial features with a well-defined nose and slightly sloped forehead. His hair is styled in a side-swept manner with slight curls at the ends. He wears a high-collared shirt with ruffled layers and a dark, tailored jacket with a visible button at the collar. There are no visible jewelry or objects in his hands. The background is plain and muted, and below the circle is a handwritten inscription that reads "Vt? Dubois."
