William Edwards is a 1802 ink by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a man in profile, wearing a high-collared garment and a buttoned jacket. He has a cravat around his neck. The man is William Edwards, and the portrait is very detailed. The artist used a small scale to create this portrait, measuring only 5.56 × 5.56 cm. The portrait is interesting because it is made using a combination of mezzotint and engraving techniques. This technique allows for a lot of detail and texture in the image. You can learn more about this technique by looking into the work of the museum: National Gallery of Art, Washington.
