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. The man's portrait is one of many small circular portraits. These portraits were likely made to be collected and exchanged. They give us a glimpse into the people of the time. Check out the work of artist: Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de, to see more of these small portraits.
