James Iredell

Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

This image is an artistic portrait of a man from the late 18th or early 19th century. The man is facing right in profile, with a neutral expression. He has a rounded face, prominent nose, and full lips. His hair is styled with short curls at the front and longer hair tied at the back. He is wearing a high-collared garment with a decorative cravat. The background is oval-shaped, suggesting it is an engraved portrait, with a plain border. At the bottom, there are inscriptions, including what appears to be the author's signature and the name "Juge John Briddell James."
