Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a man in profile. He has a prominent nose, full lips, and a strong jawline. His hair is styled in a classic late 18th to early 19th-century fashion, with curls framing his face, and is tied back with a ribbon into a plaited queue. He wears a tailored double-breasted coat with large buttons and a high collar, as well as a cravat tied around his neck. The background is a simple, dark circular shape.
