Unidentified Man

Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a side profile portrait of a man's upper body. He is depicted seated or standing upright, facing left. The man has neat, short, slightly wavy hair, a prominent nose, and a serious expression. He wears a high-collared, double-breasted coat with large buttons and a neatly tied cravat around his neck. The background is a simple dark oval with a plain border.
