Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin is a 1900 ink by Max Rosenthal, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with curly hair and a high collar. He’s framed inside a round, decorative border with swirls and a fleur-de-lis on top. Below the portrait are three smaller carved panels: two with winged figures and one with a face. The engraving looks like it was made using a technique that layers tones smoothly. This piece is held at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
