John Coles III is a 1808 ink by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a portrait of John Coles III. He's dressed formally, with a serious expression. The artist used a lot of detail to create this small portrait, which is interesting because it's so tiny - only about 5.7 cm square. The artist likely spent a lot of time on this small work. It's a good example of how much detail can be included in a small space. You can learn more about this technique by looking into 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.
