Coddington 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 young woman's profile. She's dressed in clothes from the late 1700s. The details in her hair and clothes are very fine, which is interesting because it was made using a detailed engraving style. The artist used a lot of lines to create texture and shade. This was a common technique at the time, but it's still impressive to see it done so well. You can learn more about this technique by looking into the work of the 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.
