Portret van Pieter Gerardus Duker 1846 - 1852

Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin was a prominent artist known for his stipple engravings of prominent figures in American society during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This small portrait, "Portret van Pieter Gerardus Duker," depicts the sitter in profile, a popular style at the time. The work was created between 1846 and 1852, shortly before the artist's death. This miniature engraving is an example of Saint-Mémin's mastery of the stipple technique and his ability to capture the likeness of his subjects with great detail.
