Unidentified Colonel of the French Infantry is a 1797 ink by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a profile portrait of a French officer. The officer is dressed in a formal uniform, which gives us a glimpse into the late 18th century military style. His facial expression is serious, and the details of his uniform are carefully rendered. Look up the work of artist: Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de, to see more portraits like this one.
