Van Staphorst

Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person from the waist up in a seated profile position, facing right. The individual has a long nose, visible cheek and chin, and medium-length hair styled away from the face and gathered in a ribbon at the nape of the neck. They are wearing a dark coat with a high collar over a white ruffled neckcloth. The background features a simple circular design, suggesting it is part of an illustration or engraving within a circular frame. Below the portrait is a label that reads "Van - Staphorst."
