David Thomas

Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image is a portrait showing the upper body of a man in profile, facing to the right. The man has a serious expression with defined facial features including a prominent nose and a sharp jawline. His hair is styled with short curls. He is wearing a dark, high-collared coat with a white cravat tucked around his neck. There is no visible jewelry or objects being held. The background is a simple, circular shadow in a lighter tone, framed within a muted beige rectangle with the text "David Thomas" written in a cursive script below the portrait.
