Pierre Mignard is a 1760 ink by Étienne Ficquet, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This portrait is an oval-shaped engraving of a man with long, curly hair. He is wearing a dark jacket over a lighter-colored shirt with a large bow at the neck. The background of the engraving is textured and dark. The man's face is the central focus of the engraving, with fine lines and details that give him a sense of depth and character. His hair is rendered in intricate curls, adding to the overall sense of texture and detail in the image. The engraving technique used to create this portrait is notable for its use of cross-hatching, which gives the image a sense of depth and dimensionality. The artist, Ficquet, Étienne, was a master of this technique, and it is evident in the level of detail and realism achieved in this portrait.
