Stephen Dutilh is a 1801 ink by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a man's upper body in profile. He's looking straight ahead, and you can see his nose and mouth clearly. The artist used a lot of detail to make the man's face look realistic. The man in the portrait is Stephen Dutilh, and the artist made the portrait in 1801. The portrait is special because it's an engraving, which means it was made by carving a design into a metal plate. You can learn more about this kind of art by looking into the technique of engraving.
Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin (French pronunciation: ; 1770–1852) was a French portrait painter and museum director.
