Thomas Turner is a 1808 ink by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a man in profile, facing left. He's dressed in simple clothes. The portrait is very detailed, which is interesting because it was made using a technique that involves scraping away at a metal plate to create the image. The artist used a lot of tiny lines to create shading and texture. This gives the portrait a lot of depth and dimension. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique: engraving.
Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin (French pronunciation: ; 1770–1852) was a French portrait painter and museum director.
