Charles Wayman

Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a head and shoulder profile of a man facing to the right. The man's face is in profile, highlighting a prominent nose and jawline. He has neatly styled hair with curls near the forehead and top, swept back neatly and powdered. He wears a dark jacket with a high collar, visible buttons, a light-colored high-collared shirt with a ruffle at the neck. The background is a simple, plain circle framing the man's profile against a creamy paper. Below the circle, an inscription reads "Chs. Wayman."
