Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image is of a man, showcasing the upper portion of his torso from just above the chest to the top of the head. The man is facing to the right in profile. He has a prominent nose, defined jawline, sideburns, short wavy hair styled back, and is dressed in a high-collared shirt, bow, and dark coat with a star-like decorative element on the lapel. There are no visible jewelry or objects, and the background is a textured circular shape with the handwritten name "Tho Cochrane" below the portrait on a tan strip.
