James Wilkinson

Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image is a profile portrait showing a man's upper body. He is in profile facing to the right, with a prominent facial profile, a strong nose, and short, curly gray hair. He is wearing a high-collared military uniform with detailed epaulettes on the shoulder. The uniform's collar and buttons are intricately drawn. The background is plain with a simple circular frame, and beneath the man is a label with the name "General Wilkinson" and the signature "James."
