Woods

Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a man in profile view from the chest up. The man is facing right with distinct facial features, including a prominent nose and full lips. His face is clean-shaven, with curly hair styled in a late 18th or early 19th-century fashion. He wears a dark coat with a high collar and two visible buttons, along with a light cravat tied around his neck. The background is a plain, neutral tone, highlighting the circular vignette framing. Below the portrait, the name "Thomas Woods" is inscribed in script, along with an attribution signature to the artist "St. Memin."
