James Thompson is a 1801 ink by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a small portrait of James Thompson in a circular frame. The portrait is interesting because it's very detailed, even though it's tiny. It was made using a special process that involved engraving and scratching on a metal plate. Check out the work of artist: Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de, to see more examples of this kind of detailed portrait.
