EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white mezzotint portrait, titled "Mezzotint portrait of a Young Man in Profile, from The St. Memin Collection of Portraits" transports us back to 19th century America. The artist behind this remarkable piece is Charles Balthazar Julien Fevret de Saint Memin, renowned for his skillful portrayal of individuals during this era. In the photograph, we see a young man with an enigmatic expression gazing off into the distance. His profile is beautifully captured by Jeremiah Gurney's lens, showcasing every intricate detail and contour of his face. This side view allows us to appreciate the gentleman's strong jawline and chiseled features. The image exudes a sense of elegance and timelessness that was characteristic of portraits from this period.
