You see a woman in a simple dark dress with a white collar. Her hair is pulled back in loose waves. The artist used fine lines to show her face and clothes. This print is from 1805. It’s not a painting—it’s an engraving and mezzotint made on paper. The artist worked the metal plate to create soft shadows on her skin and collar. Look up Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de for his other portraits.
