Marianne Welby DeButts is a 1805 ink by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a woman in a profile view. She's wearing a dress and a hat, and her face is turned to the side. The artist used a lot of detail to make her look realistic, which is interesting because it was made over 200 years ago, and the level of detail is still impressive. The woman in the painting is Marianne Welby DeButts, and the artist used a technique that makes her look very lifelike. The technique used is mezzotint, which is a way of engraving that creates different shades of gray. You can learn more about this technique by looking into the work of the 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.
