Dupan is a 1801 ink by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a portrait of Dupan. It's a small mezzotint and engraving, which was a common way to make prints back then. The artist likely used a special tool to scratch the design into a metal plate, creating lots of tiny lines that give the image its texture. To learn more about this style, look up the technique: engraving.
