J. Trevilliers is a 1782 ink by Louis-Jacques Cathelin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with curly hair and a high collar. His face is turned slightly to the side, and he looks thoughtful. The image is framed in a round border with text around the top and bottom edges. The artist used fine lines to show the texture of his hair and clothing. This kind of drawing is called an etching, where the artist scratches into a metal plate to create the image. Next, look up etching to see how this technique works.
