P. Morell

Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a person's upper body in profile, facing right. The individual has distinct facial features, including a nose, a straight brow, and slightly parted lips. Their hair is styled neatly, pulled back and tied with a bow. The person is wearing a dark coat with light-colored buttons, a high-collared waistcoat, and a white cravat. The background includes an oval frame around the portrait, with a plain, lightly textured backdrop. An inscription at the bottom reads "P. Morell" and below the portrait, "Drawn & engr'd by S. Hennin Philadel'a."
