Bernard Moore Carter is a 1808 ink by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This small print shows Bernard Moore Carter’s face in soft shadows. Dark hair curls on his forehead. His coat collar is crisp white against a dark coat. Mezzotint lets the artist mix ink for deep blacks and light grays. Fine lines form his features and hair without sharp edges. This style was rare in early 1800s America. If you like this quiet glow, try work by Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de.
