John Moore White

Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image is a portrait of a man's upper body in profile view. He is facing to the right, with distinct facial features including a strong nose and prominent brow. His hair is neatly styled and light in color, swept backward with sideburns ending at his ear. The man is wearing a dark jacket with a high collar and a visible single button, along with a white cravat around his neck. The background is dark and circular, contrasting with a lighter rectangular frame. The portrait appears to be monochromatic, with detailed clothing and hair texture.
