EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait print, titled "Alexander Rider (?), 1808-9" was created by the talented artist Charles Balthazar Julien Fevret de Saint-Memin in the 19th century. The image showcases a distinguished gentleman, possibly named Alexander Rider, with his profile elegantly captured on off-white laid paper coated with gouache. De Saint-Memin's masterful use of white chalk heightening and conté crayon brings depth and texture to this remarkable piece. The subject's side view allows us to appreciate his strong features and refined demeanor. His gaze seems focused yet enigmatic, leaving us curious about the thoughts that occupy his mind. As we delve into this historical artwork, we are transported back in time to early 19th-century America. This portrait serves as a testament to the artistic talent of De Saint-Memin while also offering insight into the fashion and style of that era. Currently housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met) in New York City, this print is part of their extensive collection celebrating American heritage. It stands as a reminder of our nation's rich history and cultural legacy. Through its meticulous details and timeless appeal, this portrait invites viewers to contemplate not only the life of Alexander Rider but also the broader stories woven within each stroke of De Saint-Memin's brush.
