Henri Grevedon

National Gallery of Art

The image is a head and shoulders portrait of a man. He is positioned slightly off-center with his body facing toward the left and his head turned to the right, gazing into the distance. He has well-defined facial features with prominent cheekbones and deep-set eyes. His hair is dark, curly, and styled away from his face. The man is wearing a formal outfit with a high-collared jacket, a vest, and an elegantly tied cravat. There are no visible jewelry or objects in his hands. The background is plain and light in color.
