John Moncreif 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 Moncreif. He's dressed in simple clothing and looks straight ahead. The artist used a lot of detail to make the portrait look realistic, which is interesting because the artwork is very small, measuring only 5.72 × 5.72 cm. The small size makes you wonder how the artist was able to include so much detail. You can learn more about this style by looking at 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.
