Saint-Mémin Collection of Portraits, Group 17

Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a collection of twelve portraits arranged in a grid of three rows and four columns. Each portrait features an individual in profile, displaying only their head and upper torso. The individuals have different facial features and hairstyles. They are dressed formally, with some wearing coats and cravats and one person wearing an elaborate bonnet and lace-trimmed clothing. The background of each portrait is a plain circular space, and names are inscribed below each image on a neutral-tinted board.
