Saint-Mémin Collection of Portraits, Group 18

Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image consists of fifteen individual portraits arranged in a grid of five rows and three columns. Each portrait shows a side profile of a man's head and shoulders within circular frames. The men vary in facial features, hairstyles, and clothing. Names are inscribed below each portrait, and the arrangement is on a flat, subtly varied background.
