Thomas Webster is a 1809 ink by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows Thomas Webster from the chest up. He's looking straight ahead with a calm face. The artist used a lot of detail to make Webster look real, which is interesting because it was made over 200 years ago. The artist likely spent a lot of time getting the details just right. This was important for making the portrait feel authentic. You can learn more about this style by looking at the work of artist: Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de.
Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin (French pronunciation: ; 1770–1852) was a French portrait painter and museum director.
