Samuel Hambleton is a 1806 ink by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This small print shows Samuel Hambleton’s head and shoulders. He faces left in a dark coat with a white collar. The background is plain and light. Mezzotint prints use metal plates and burnished tones for soft shadows. Cross-hatching adds fine lines here to shape the face. The paper is mounted on thicker brown stock. This kind of print was popular in early 1800s America for quick portraits. Look next at work by Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de.
