Felix Barthe was one of the most important men of Law of the 19th century (deputy from 1830 to 1834, Minister of Public Instruction and Religious Affairs and Minister presiding over the Council of State (1830-1831) then Minister of Justice and Minister presiding over the Council of State (1831-1834 and 1837-1839), Peer de France, Senator during the Second Empire and First President of the Court of Auditors (1834-1837) and (1839-1863)).
Alexandre Hesse produced at least 3 portraits of him, one of which is in the Mollien room at the Cour des Comptes, another is in the Narbonne museum and a final one passed to De Maigret in 2022. This drawing is the fourth known portrait.
It was offered by Hesse, after the jurisconsult's death, to his son-in-law the Receveur Particulier des Finances Clement Petit, who forwarded it to Barthe's widow.
We don't know whether it was made and signed on the occasion or whether it was made beforehand as a model for painted portraits. Very high quality and in its original frame.
Shipping offered and insured in France. Can be seen and picked up at my stand at the Saint-Ouen flea market.
