Thomas Truxtun

Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image is an illustration of a man's profile view, showing his head and upper torso. He has styled hair, a pronounced nose, and a serious expression. He wears a dark coat with a high collar, two visible buttons, and a white cravat. The background is dark with a circular frame, contrasting the lighter paper surrounding it. Below the circle is a handwritten note that appears to say "Ch. Truxton". The artwork is attributed to a Philadelphia-based artist.
