Thomas Ennalls Waggaman

Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a detailed profile portrait of a man in a side profile position, facing to the right. The man has a prominent nose and well-defined sideburns. His head is slightly tilted upwards, emphasizing his facial features. He has thick, wavy hair styled upwards. He is wearing a dark suit or coat, a white high-collared shirt, and possibly a cravat around his neck. The background is plain, uniformly shaded to create a circular vignette effect around the portrait. Below the portrait is the text "Waggaman" written on a strip of paper.
