Unidentified Man

Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an engraving of a man's profile. He is facing to the right, with his body turned slightly away from the viewer. The man has curly, medium-length hair, sideburns, a pointed nose, and a strong jawline. He is wearing a dark coat with a high collar and a cravat around his neck. There is a dark circular background behind the man's profile, set against a lighter rectangular space, with an illegible signature or inscription near the bottom of the circle.
