Felix Imbert

Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a detailed etching of a man's left profile, from the chest up. He has a slightly pointed nose, defined jawline, and medium-length wavy hair styled back. The man appears serious and wears a high-collared shirt, a cravat, a dark jacket with buttons, and a hoop earring in his left ear. The background is a simple circular field and the name "Felix Imbert" is inscribed below, along with the artist's signature "S. Memand Phila."
