Saint-Mémin Collection of Portraits, Group 35

Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image features 16 portrait illustrations arranged in a 4x4 grid. Each portrait shows the head and upper shoulders in profile view facing left within a circular frame against a plain background. The facial features vary among the subjects, including noses, jawlines, and hair styles. Some men wear wigs, and one woman wears a cap. The clothing consists of typical early 19th-century European attire. Each portrait is labeled with a name in cursive script below the circle, and the background color is an aged cream with a tan border.
