Thomas Webster

Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image portrays a side profile of an individual's upper body from the chest upwards. The person faces to the right, with their head slightly turned. They have a straight nose and chin, curly hair styled neatly, and visible sideburns. The individual wears formal attire, including a high-collared shirt with ruffles and a dark coat with shiny buttons. The background is plain with a textured circle in gray or sepia tone on a lighter backdrop. The name 'Th. Webster' is written elegantly at the bottom of the image.
