Saint-Mémin Collection of Portraits, Group 47

Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image features fifteen vignetted portraits of individuals, showing only their heads and a small part of their shoulders in circular frames. All individuals face to the right. The men have varied facial features and wear suits or frock coats with high collars and cravats. The women have hair styled up or covered with hats or bonnets, wearing blouses with lace or ruffles. Each portrait is labeled with a name. The background is plain, and the layout is on a simple piece of paper with borders separating each portrait.
