George Michael Bedinger is a 1806 ink by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a portrait of George Michael Bedinger. He's dressed in formal clothes and looks straight ahead. The artist used a lot of detail to create this small portrait. The portrait is interesting because it was made using a mezzotint and engraving technique. This technique allowed the artist to create a lot of texture and shading in the portrait. It's also notable that the portrait is very small, only about 5 cm wide. You can learn more about this technique by looking into the work of the artist: Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de.
