Landon Carter II

Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a profile portrait of a man. He is facing to the right, with detailed facial features such as a prominent nose and chin. His hair is short, curly, and light-colored, styled backward. He is dressed in formal attire, wearing a high-collared shirt with ruffles and a dark coat with large buttons. The illustration is enclosed in an oval frame with a neutral background. No jewelry or objects are visible, and the background is shaded behind the man's profile for contrast.
