Benjamin Cocke is a 1805 ink by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a portrait of Benjamin Cocke. He is dressed formally, with a serious expression. The artist used a lot of details to make the portrait look realistic, like the folds in his clothing and the texture of his hair. The portrait is very small, measuring only 5.72 × 5.56 cm. This makes the details even more impressive, considering the tiny size. The artist had to be very precise to fit so much information into such a small space. You can learn more about this technique by looking into the work of artist: Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de.
Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin (French pronunciation: ; 1770–1852) was a French portrait painter and museum director.
