Russell is a 1809 ink by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving shows Andrew Russell, a man in a dark coat with a high white collar. The face is sharply lit while the background fades to shadow. The artist used a print method called mezzotint. It lets him create soft shades and smooth changes from dark to light. Cross-hatching adds fine lines that catch the eye. If you like this style, check out Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de.
