Leech is a 1798 ink by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a man in profile, wearing formal clothes. He looks refined, with a calm face. His attire is typical of the late 18th century. The background is simple, which makes him stand out. The man's portrait is detailed, with careful lines and shading, which was a common practice during that time. To learn more about this style, look up the technique: engraving.
