James Riddle is a 1800 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 is dressed in old-fashioned clothes. The artist used a special technique to create lots of shades and details in the picture. The portrait is interesting because it was made a long time ago, between 1798 and 1802. The artist used a combination of mezzotint and engraving to create the image. This was a common way to make portraits back then. You can learn more about this type of art by looking at 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.
