David Thomas is a 1807 ink by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows David Thomas from the shoulders up, facing left. His coat looks dark. The artist used fine lines to shade his face. Mezzotint starts with a rough metal plate. The artist smooths it down to create light areas. Cross-hatching adds the darkest lines. See how Thomas’s collar meets his jawline. Look for his signature in the lower left. Saint-Mémin, Charles B.
