Frederick Kuhl

Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a profile view of a man from the shoulders up. The man is facing to the right with his head turned in that direction. He has short, wavy hair that appears to be graying. His facial features include a high forehead, straight nose, and rounded chin. He is wearing a dark coat with a visible collar and two large buttons at the front. Underneath the coat, a white shirt with a ruffled front is visible. The background is dark with a lighter border, and the man's name, Frederick Kube, is inscribed in cursive handwriting below the portrait. The portrait has a sepia-toned, aged appearance.
