Unidentified Man is a 1800 ink by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a man's head and upper torso in profile. He's wearing a dark coat and a light cravat. The artwork is a small circular portrait, one of many created by the artist. The man in the portrait is not identified, which is interesting. It makes you wonder who he was and why his portrait was made. You can see more portraits like this one by looking up the technique: engraving.
