Mary Hawley Macintosh Williams Sargent is a 1802 ink by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a woman's portrait. She is dressed in old-fashioned clothes. The artist used a special technique to create lots of details and textures in the picture, which is interesting because it was made a long time ago. The woman in the picture is Mary Hawley Macintosh Williams Sargent. The artist, Saint-Mémin, made this portrait in 1802 using mezzotint and engraving. This was a common way to make art back then, but it's still impressive today. You can learn more about this kind of art by looking into the technique of engraving.
Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin (French pronunciation: ; 1770–1852) was a French portrait painter and museum director.
