James Campbell is a 1804 ink by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows James Campbell's portrait. He's dressed nicely and looks straight at us. The artist used a mix of charcoal and pastel to create this portrait, which is interesting because it was a common technique back then, but not many artists were as skilled at it as Saint-Mémin, and this skill helped to make the portrait very detailed and realistic. You can learn more about this technique by looking into 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.
