Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a man in profile, facing right. He has distinctive facial features, with a straight nose, a slight smile, short wavy hair combed backwards, and is wearing a high-collared garment with a white cravat. The background is simple, with a circular shadow highlighting the figure, and the name "Florim? Masson." is inscribed beneath it on a rectangular piece of paper.
