Solomon Moses

Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a profile portrait of a man with curly hair styled in a manner typical of the 18th century. The man has a prominent nose, serene expression, and subtle chin. He is wearing a high-collared shirt and a dark coat with visible buttons. The portrait is enclosed in a circular frame with a textured background. Below the frame, handwritten text reads "a. Moses" and "Solomon Moses." The background outside the frame is simple, with no distinct features or objects.
