Theodorick Bland

Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a detailed profile view of a man's upper body, focusing primarily on his head and shoulders. He is positioned facing to the right. The man has distinct facial features with a prominent nose and closed lips, and his hair is styled in soft, wavy curls that sweep back from his forehead. He is wearing a high-collared shirt under a dark coat. The collar of the shirt appears to be neatly folded and rises under his chin. The circular portrait is set against a plain, subtle gray backdrop. Beneath the circular image, there is a handwritten text that reads "Th. Bland. Theoderic" on a light beige card.
