Daniel Murgatroyd is a 1798 ink by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with curly hair and a high collar. He’s turned slightly to the side, looking off to the left. The edges of the oval frame are rough, and the paper looks old. The artist’s name, Saint-Mémin, is signed in the bottom corners, along with the word “engraved.” This print uses fine lines to create shadows, not paint. Next, look up engraving to see how artists made prints like this before photography.
Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin (French pronunciation: ; 1770–1852) was a French portrait painter and museum director.
