Ann Jay is a 1797 ink by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a woman with delicate features and a calm expression. She's dressed in simple clothes and has a gentle face. The artist used a lot of detail to make her look real. The woman in the painting is Ann Jay, and the artist made this portrait in 1797. It's a small work, but it's still very detailed, which is interesting. You can learn more about this kind of art by looking at the technique of engraving.
