Edmund G. Dutilh

Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a young boy's upper body in profile view, facing to the right. His head is turned slightly, and he has short, wavy hair that frames his face. His facial features are delicate, with a youthful complexion and soft gaze. The boy is wearing a collared shirt beneath a buttoned jacket, with one collar visible and neatly turned. The buttons on his jacket are prominent and evenly spaced. No jewelry or objects are visible. The background is a simple, medium-toned circular frame that contrasts subtly with the lighter color of the paper around it. The image is captioned with the name "Edmund G. Pulhil" at the bottom.
