Robert Heysham

Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man's side profile from the chest up. The man has curly hair, a prominent nose, a slightly protruding chin, and fine lines suggestive of age. He wears formal attire, including a high-collared shirt with a cravat and a dark coat with decorative buttons. The background is a plain gray circle with a faded outer border. Below the portrait, the name "Ferguson, Robert Heysham" is written.
