James Campbell is a 1804 ink by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This portrait shows James Campbell in a simple, classic style. He's dressed in formal clothes, looking straight ahead. The artist used a mix of charcoal and pastel to create this portrait, which was later reproduced as a mezzotint engraving. The original portrait was made in 1804, and it's interesting that it was later given to the National Gallery of Art by a donor. This shows that the artwork was valued by collectors over time.
