James Dewar Simons

Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a man in profile, facing right. He is upright with his head turned to the side, showing his facial features like a nose and chin. His short hair is styled in soft waves. He is dressed in formal attire - a dark coat over a high-collared shirt with a white neckcloth. The background is a plain backdrop within an oval frame, with handwritten text at the bottom that reads "Dr. Delvar Simons. James."
