Samuel White 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 man’s face in profile, neatly framed. His dark coat and white collar stand out against the plain background. The cross-hatching technique gives the image depth and soft shadows. Notice how the artist uses fine lines to shape the face. The paper has a slight yellow tint, adding warmth to the print. If you like this style, try Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de.
