Paul Busti

Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a profile portrait of a man from the shoulders up. The man has a rounded facial profile with a prominent nose and lips, and his hair is styled in short, tight curls around his head. He is wearing a high-collared waistcoat or coat over a white cravat. The background is a plain, circular vignette that fades into the edges of the portrait. Below the portrait, the name "Paul Bustig" is visible, and the drawing is credited to "J. S. Memmer Philada."
