Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

The image shows a head-and-shoulders portrait of a man in profile, facing to the right. He has curly, light-colored hair styled away from his face, with curls cascading down the back of his head. His features include a prominent nose and a slightly rounded chin. He is dressed in a dark coat with a cravat. The background is a simple, dark circular frame. The word "Simmons" is inscribed in cursive at the bottom edge.
