Wallace

Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

This is a portrait of a man showing his upper body from the chest upwards, positioned in profile facing to the right. The man has curly hair that is combed back and appears to be of medium length. His facial features are classic and defined, with a prominent nose and a stoic expression. He is wearing a high-collared garment under a dark coat. The background is a plain circular shape filled with a slightly darker tone. Beneath the portrait, there is handwritten text that reads "Wallace" along with additional script describing the artist's attribution at the base of the image.
