Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image is a monochrome portrait of a person in profile, facing right. The individual has a distinctive facial profile with a prominent nose and well-defined chin. Their hair is styled in soft curls, and they wear a high-collared garment, likely a coat, with visible buttons. They also wear a cravat or neckcloth. The background is a uniform gray or sepia tone. Below the portrait, there is handwritten script that includes the name "Petit de Willers."
