Davis Old

Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image is a portrait drawing of a man in profile. He has a prominent nose, round cheeks, full lips, and curly hair framing his head. He is wearing a high-collared coat with visible buttons, and a white neckcloth or cravat around his neck. The background is a plain, dark circle with a lighter rectangle behind the man. A handwritten label below the portrait reads "Davis Old."
