This graphite drawing by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, created between 1800 and 1801, depicts John Adams, the second President of the United States. The artwork, currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases Adams in profile, his face and meticulously rendered hair taking center stage. Saint-Mémin was known for his detailed portraits of prominent figures in American history, and this work exemplifies his mastery of the medium. This intimate portrait captures Adams' presence and offers a glimpse into the life of one of America's founding fathers.
