Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin is a 1900 ink by Max Rosenthal, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a round face and curly hair. He wears a dark jacket with a high collar and a white cravat. The portrait is framed by an ornate oval border, which features a fleur-de-lis at the top and a small portrait of the same man at the bottom. The portrait is rendered in fine detail, with subtle shading that suggests a sense of depth and dimensionality. The overall effect is one of quiet dignity and refinement.
