Mary McIlvaine Bloomfield is a 1800 ink by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving shows a woman in a dark dress with a high white collar. Her hair is pulled back tight. She faces slightly to the left with a calm expression. Saint-Memin used a special engraving technique here. It creates soft shadows and smooth skin tones. The dark background makes her face stand out. Look up Saint-Memin, Charles B. J. Févret de next.
