Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image portrays a man in a head-and-shoulders profile facing right. He has a distinctive nose, jawline, and short sideburns. His hair is styled in short curls, with slight waves at the sides, and pulled back. He is wearing formal attire, including a dark coat with visible buttons, and a high-collared shirt with a cravat or necktie. The background features a circular vignette with a gradient effect. Below the portrait, the name "Thomas Taylor" is handwritten on a separate piece of paper.
