Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a head-and-shoulders profile view of a man. He is positioned in profile, facing to the right. His facial features include a strong, defined nose and prominent side-whiskers or sideburns. His hair is styled in tight curls, framing his face. He is wearing a high-collared coat with two visible buttons. The attire suggests a formal or period-specific fashion. The portrait is set within a circular frame. The image is bordered by a cardboard matte with "C. Rheiner" labeled below.
