James Philips

Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a side profile portrait of a man. The subject is facing to the right, with his upper body—from the chest up—visible. His features include a nose, chin, and wavy hair. He has sideburns along his jawline. The man is dressed in formal attire, with a dark jacket and a light-colored cravat. No jewelry is visible. The background is a circular field with a neutral texture, and the man's name, "James Phillips," is written below the portrait in an engraved style.
