Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image is a profile portrait of a man in 18th-century attire, centered in a circular frame. The man faces right with a prominent nose, firm jawline, and styled curly hair tied at the back. He wears a high-collared shirt, bowtie or cravat, and a double-breasted coat with large buttons. The background is dark, and below the portrait is the handwritten name "Weeris" on a light beige band.
