John Dubarry is a 1802 ink by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a man in profile, wearing a dark coat and white cravat. The man's face is the focus, with no accessories to distract from his features. The artist used a small scale, measuring only 5.56 × 5.56 cm, to create a sense of intimacy. The level of detail in this small portrait is notable, and to learn more about this style, look up the technique: engraving.
