John Craig Wells is a 1799 ink by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows John Craig Wells facing right. He's dressed in simple clothing. The artist took time to draw the details of his face and clothes. The portrait is special because it was made a long time ago, in 1799. It helps us learn about people from the past. We can see what they wore and how they looked. You can learn more about this style by looking at the work of artist: Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de.
