Unidentified Man is a 1800 ink by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a man's head and upper torso in profile. He's wearing a dark coat and a light cravat. The man's face is serious, with a slight tilt to his head. This portrait is one of many small circular portraits by the artist. The details in the portrait, like the folds of the cravat, are carefully done. This suggests the artist paid close attention to the small things. The portrait is done using a technique that's similar to what you'd see in works by 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.
