Frey is a 1805 ink by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a person named Frey with a detailed facial expression and period attire. The portrait has a lot of detail, like Frey's hairstyle and clothes. This suggests the artist paid close attention to getting everything just right. The artist used a technique that involves making lots of small lines to create shading and texture. You can learn more about this technique by looking into engraving, which is what the artist used to create this portrait.
