George Way is a 1807 ink by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a man's upper body in profile. He's looking straight ahead, and his face is serious. The artist used a lot of detail to make the portrait look realistic, which is interesting because it was made over 200 years ago, and the level of detail is still impressive today. You can learn more about this style 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.
