"John Adams" by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin is a notable portrait of the second President of the United States, John Adams (1735–1826), created by the French artist during Adams's lifetime. Saint-Mémin was renowned for his profile portraits, which he produced using a physiognotrace, a mechanical device that facilitated the accurate capture of a subject's profile. This tool was particularly popular in the late 18th and early 19th centuries for its ability to create a detailed outline that could then be elaborated upon by the artist.

The portrait of John Adams is a fine example of Saint-Mémin's work and reflects the neoclassical style that was prevalent during the period. It captures the austere and dignified character of Adams, emphasizing the intellectual and statesmanlike qualities for which he was known. The artwork is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, providing insight into the representation of American political figures during the early years of the United States.

Saint-Mémin's portraits are characterized by their meticulous detail and the use of stipple engraving, a technique that involves creating an image with small dots. This method allowed Saint-Mémin to achieve a high level of realism and subtlety in shading, which contributed to the lifelike quality of his portraits. The portrait of John Adams is an important piece within Saint-Mémin's oeuvre and serves as a testament to his skill as an artist and his contribution to the documentation of American history through portraiture.

The "John Adams" portrait is held in various collections and has been the subject of study for art historians interested in the Federalist era and the development of American portraiture. It stands as a significant cultural artifact that connects the modern viewer with the early years of American independence and the individuals who played pivotal roles in shaping the nation's identity.
