James Madison Broom is a 1807 ink by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a man in a dark coat with a white cravat. His gaze is steady, almost tired. The artist used fine lines to shade his face and coat. Saint-Mémin made this in 1807. He used a method called mezzotint, which lets artists create soft grays and deep blacks. The print is small, about 7 by 5 inches. Look up another work by Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de.
