Thomas Tingey is a 1806 ink by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This portrait shows Thomas Tingey in 1806. He’s dressed in a fancy navy uniform with big shoulder pieces. The background is plain so your eye stays on his face. The artist used a special print method called mezzotint. It lets him create soft shadows and smooth shifts in tone. That’s why the uniform looks so rich and real. It feels like you’re standing right there with him. Check out more engravings by Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de.
