Watt is a 1802 ink by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows James Watt, a man with a serious expression. He's dressed in old-fashioned clothes. The artist included lots of details in the portrait, like the folds of Watt's clothing and the shape of his face, which makes it interesting because it shows the artist's skill at making small, precise lines. The artist used a technique that involves making many small marks to create the image. This technique allows for a lot of detail and texture in the portrait. You can learn more about this technique by looking up the work of artist: Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de.
