Andrew Purviance Hazlehurst

Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a profile engraving of a man, displaying his upper body from the shoulders up. He is seated or positioned in a way that showcases a side view of his face. The man has detailed facial features with curly hair that appears voluminous and styled with a ribbon at the back. He is wearing a dark coat with a high collar, over a white shirt with ruffles at the neck. The coat has a large round button visible. There is no visible jewelry or objects he is holding. The background of the image is a simple dark circle that contrasts with the lighter foreground, and the engraving is signed by S. Memin below the image and labeled with the name "Andw Hazlehurst."
