James Gardette is a 1801 ink by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This portrait shows a man with a serious face. He's dressed in old-fashioned clothes. The artist used a lot of details to draw his face and clothes, which is interesting because it was made a long time ago, in 1801, and the artist was able to create a lot of texture with just black lines on paper. You can learn more about this kind of artwork by looking into the technique of engraving.
