James Latimer Cuthbert is a 1800 ink by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows James Latimer Cuthbert in profile with short wavy hair and a neutral expression. The portrait is oval-shaped and from the late 18th century. It's interesting that the artist used a profile view, which was a common way to depict people back then. This style was often used to show the subject's features clearly. The portrait is part of the National Gallery of Art's collection, and to learn more about this style, look up the technique: engraving.
