Eliza Susan Morton Quincy 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 woman in profile with dark curly hair under a decorative headscarf. She's dressed up, and her hair is nicely done. The portrait is very small, only about 5.5 cm square. This tiny size makes it interesting, as it's a detailed portrait despite being so little. You can learn more about this kind of detailed work by looking into the technique of engraving.
Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin (French pronunciation: ; 1770–1852) was a French portrait painter and museum director.
