William Henry Hill is a 1799 ink by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows William Henry Hill in a left profile. He's dressed in simple clothes. His face is the focus. The artist used a lot of detail to make Hill look real. The portrait is from 1799, which is interesting because it was a different time. The way the artist made the portrait is also notable. You can learn more about this technique by looking into engraving.
