John Wickham

Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image is a portrait of a man in profile, facing left. He has a distinct and prominent nose with strong facial features, including a well-defined jawline. His hair is short, neatly styled, and appears to be wavy. He is dressed in formal clothing with a high-collared coat and a necktie or cravat. No visible jewelry or objects are held in the image. The background is a simple, circular dark shading that contrasts with the figure's face and attire, focusing attention on the subject. Underneath the portrait, “John Wickham” is written.
