Foucher

Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man in a side profile view, with his head turned to the left. He has curly hair, a prominent nose, a defined jawline, and his lips are closed. The man is wearing a dark coat with two visible buttons, and a white cravat tied neatly around his neck. In the background, there is a simple dark circular design fading towards the edges. The illustrator's name is inscribed below the portrait, with "Boucher" written underneath in a handwritten style.
