Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a man in profile view. He has a prominent nose and a defined chin, with light shading around the jawline. His hair is styled back, possibly with curls or waves. He is wearing a high-collared coat with a visible lapel and a cravat around his neck. There are no visible jewelry or additional objects. The background is a simple solid circle, and the name "Isaac A Coles" is inscribed on the bottom edge.
