Mahlon Dickerson is a 1802 ink by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This small print shows a man in a dark coat with a high collar. The artist used fine lines to shade his face and clothes. The paper is thin but strong, with a soft brown backing. In 1802, this style was new in America. The artist trained in Paris before moving to Philadelphia. His work helped spread European portrait styles here. Look up Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de next.
