Saint-Mémin Collection of Portraits, Group 14

Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image displays fifteen black and white profile portraits of men, each depicted from the chest up within circular frames. They are all positioned in profile, facing left and wearing attire typical of the late 18th to early 19th century. Their expressions are neutral, and they display various hairstyles of the period. Each portrait features a unique individual identified by differing facial features and hairstyles. Above or below each portrait is a handwritten name. The portraits are arranged in a grid format against a plain background with borders separating each frame. No additional ornamentation or objects are present in the image.
