Evan William Thomas is a 1800 ink by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a man in a dark coat staring straight ahead. His face is softly lit, the shadows melt into gentle tones. The background is plain. It looks like a quiet moment caught in time. The artist used a special engraving trick called cross-hatching. Fine lines overlap to build up dark areas. This makes the face glow softly against the rest. Look up this artist next: Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de.
