Joseph Bloomfield

Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a bust-length profile of a man, depicted from the chest up. He is positioned in profile, facing to the right with a slightly upwards gaze. His facial features include a prominent nose and a defined jawline, with slightly curly hair that appears to be light in color. The man is wearing a high-collared coat with a visible double-breasted design and buttons, along with a ruffled shirt beneath. He is not shown with any jewelry or objects. The background is a plain circular field with a textured appearance, likely part of an engraving or illustration, and the name "Général Bloomfield" is inscribed underneath the portrait.
