Saint George Tucker

Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image is a monochrome profile portrait of a person, showing the upper half of the body. The person is positioned in profile view, facing to the right side of the image. They have a distinctive nose and chin, with high cheekbones and a strong jawline. Their hair is neatly styled, tied back in a small ponytail at the nape of the neck, with soft waves and a clean parting. The person is dressed in formal attire, featuring a dark coat with a high collar and buttons, and a white ruffled cravat around the neck. The background is a simple, textured circle with a plain rectangular border, and the name "Saint George Tucker" is written below the portrait.
