Marie Josephine Delacroix

Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image is an oval portrait of a person in profile. The individual has refined facial features, wavy hair pulled back with curls, and is wearing a high-collared garment with a bow tie, possibly from the 18th or 19th century. An earring is visible in their ear. The background is plain, and there is an artist's signature at the border, along with the name "Mrs. de la Croix, Marie Josephine Delacroix."
