Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a portrait featuring the upper half of a person's body, from the shoulders up, in profile facing right. The individual has a prominent nose, firm jawline, gray thinning hair combed back with curls at the nape of the neck, and is dressed in a formal high-collared garment with a dark coat and a visible white cravat or ruffled shirt. There is no visible jewelry. The background is a circular, dark-toned space. Below the portrait, the name "Timothy Pickering" is handwritten in cursive script on a rectangular section of the image.
