Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait drawing of a man in profile, facing left. He has a prominent nose, slightly pointed chin, and calm expression. His wavy hair is medium-length and styled neatly with some curls. He is wearing a high-collared shirt, a dark coat with large buttons, and there are no visible accessories. In the background, there is a simple circular frame on a plain, light-colored backdrop. The bottom of the image is inscribed with the name "John A. Chevalier" in cursive handwriting.
