Original Description
The portrait Dyer Sharp Wynkoop by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin (1770–1852) is a striking example of early American neoclassical portraiture, embodying both the precision of physiognomic study and the elegance of Federal-era art. Saint-Mémin, a French émigré artist, gained renown for his detailed profile portraits created with the aid of a physionotrace, a mechanical drawing device. This portrait, likely executed in the early 19th century, captures Wynkoop with remarkable clarity—his sharp features, resolute gaze, and refined attire reflect the dignified aspirations of post-Revolutionary American elites. The delicate stipple engraving technique, combined with soft washes of color, creates a lifelike yet subtly romanticized effect. Historically significant, Saint-Mémin’s works bridge European academic traditions and the emerging American identity in portraiture, making this piece a valuable artifact of its time.
For an interior space, this portrait would harmonize beautifully in a traditional study, a refined office, or a gallery wall in a classic home. Its muted earth tones and delicate lines pair well with rich walnut or mahogany furniture, while the profile composition demands an uncluttered background—think warm-toned wallpaper or deep burgundy walls for contrast. A medium-to-large frame (approximately 20x24 inches) in gilt or blackened gold would enhance its historic gravitas without overwhelming the room. To balance its formal elegance, consider pairing it with subdued textiles like wool or velvet, or anchor it alongside other early 19th-century artworks for a cohesive historical vignette. The portrait’s restrained palette also allows it to complement both neutral and bold décor schemes, making it a versatile statement piece.
