Wilkinson

Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image portrays a profile portrait of a person facing right. The individual is shown in a seated or static position with their head turned to the side. They have a sharp nose, curly hair styled voluminously at the top, and neatly arranged at the sides with visible sideburns. The person is wearing a high-collared jacket with a visible button and a white cravat around the neck. The background is plain with a circular border framing the profile. The artwork is monochromatic, with tones of black, white, and grey, and the name "Wilkinson" is written below the portrait frame.
