David Caldwell

Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

This is a monochromatic portrait engraving of a man in profile facing left. The image captures him from the shoulders up, showing his prominent brow, strong nose, defined jawline, thick curly hair styled back, and sideburns. He wears a formal coat with high collars and a visible cravat. The background is plain, and his name, "D. Caldwell," is written beneath the circular frame in cursive script.
