Joseph Mouchet is a 1802 ink by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This portrait shows a man's upper body in profile, wearing a dark coat and a white cravat. The man is Joseph Mouchet, and this portrait is a detailed representation of him. It's interesting because it's a mezzotint and engraving, which was a common technique used during that time. To learn more about this technique, look into the method of engraving.
