John Curzon Seton is a 1798 ink by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a detailed profile portrait of John Curzon Seton. The portrait is done in a very precise style, which was typical of the time. It's interesting that the artist used mezzotint and engraving to create the image, which allows for a lot of detail and texture. The use of mezzotint and engraving gives the portrait a sense of depth and dimension. You can learn more about this technique by looking into the work of artist: Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de.
