Henry Walter Livingston

Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image is a bust portrait of a man in profile facing right. He has a prominent nose and strong jawline. His hair is styled with waves and curls, tied at the nape of his neck with a ribbon. He wears a white high-collared shirt, a cravat, and a double-breasted coat. The background is a simple circular grey shade. Handwritten text, including the names "H. B. Livingston" and "Henry Walter," is seen on a textured background similar to parchment on the edges of the image.
