Thomas Tingey is a 1806 ink by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man in a military uniform. He’s wearing a dark coat with gold buttons and a high collar, plus a sash across his chest. His curly wig is powdered, and he has a serious expression with a strong jawline. The artist used fine lines to show texture, especially on the fabric and wig. The edges of the circle frame look hand-drawn, giving it an old-fashioned feel. Next, check out etching to see how artists create detailed prints like this.
