John Morton

Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image is a portrait displaying the upper half of a man's body, specifically focusing on his head and shoulders. The man is positioned in profile, facing to the left side of the image. He has a prominent nose and well-defined facial features, with his hair styled back, appearing somewhat voluminous and wavy. He wears a high-collared garment. The background is plain, with a circular frame around the portrait. There is no visible jewelry or objects the man is holding in this portrait. Below the portrait, the name "John Morton" is written in an elegant script on a horizontal band.
