John Carlyle Herbert is a 1807 ink by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a man's head and upper torso in profile. He's dressed in simple clothing, and his face is serious. The artist paid close attention to details like his hair and nose. The portrait is interesting because it was made using a special process. The artist used a combination of mezzotint and engraving to create the image. This technique allowed for a lot of detail and texture in the final picture. You can learn more about this style by looking at the work of artist: Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de.
