Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image is a portrait of a man shown from the shoulders up, posed in profile facing to the right. He has a prominent nose, high cheekbones, and curly, light-colored hair that is styled back. The man is wearing a dark coat with a high collar and a white neckcloth. The background is a simple, subtle circular gradient that fades to a textured look. The name "Dr. Seib" followed by "Michael" is written below the portrait.
