This pencil portrait by Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres depicts Jacques Marguet de Norvins. The artist was a leading figure of the Neoclassical movement in France and this work reflects his dedication to precise line work and detailed rendering. While the drawing is simple in its composition, Ingres’ skillful use of shading and detail creates a lifelike representation of the sitter.
