Unidentified Man is a 1800 ink by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a man's head and upper torso in profile, wearing a dark coat and light cravat. This portrait is one of many small circular portraits made by the artist. The details in the portrait are very fine, which suggests the artist was skilled at making precise lines and shapes. The artist used a technique to create this portrait, and to learn more about it, look up the technique of engraving.
