Anderson

Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a person in profile, facing left with an angled position and head turned to the side. They have well-defined facial features, including a prominent nose and sharp jawline. The person's hair is styled in voluminous curls. They are dressed in a formal military coat with epaulettes, decorated buttons, and braiding, suggesting a significant rank or role. The background is a plain circle, bordered by a slightly off-white rectangular frame. The name "Tho Anderson" is handwritten at the bottom of the image outside the circle.
