Nicholas DuBois is a 1804 ink by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a person's upper body in profile, facing right. It's a small, circular portrait. The subject is Nicholas DuBois. He is turned to the side, so we only see one side of his face. The portrait is very detailed, even though it's small. It was made using a special technique that involves scratching lines into a metal plate. To learn more about this kind of detailed work, look up the technique: engraving.
Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin (French pronunciation: ; 1770–1852) was a French portrait painter and museum director.
