George Young is a 1805 ink by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting is a portrait of George Young. He's dressed formally, looking straight at us. The artist used a lot of detail to show his clothes and face, which is interesting because it was made a long time ago, in 1805, and this kind of detail was hard to achieve with the tools they had back then. You can learn more about this kind of artwork by looking at the work of artist: Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de.
Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin (French pronunciation: ; 1770–1852) was a French portrait painter and museum director.
