François Dumont 1751 - 1831 & Portrait Young Woman Miniature & Vernis Martin Box
Artist: François Dumont 1751 - 1831
Circular box in Martin varnish decorated with a miniature depicting the portrait of a young woman, executed by François Dumont 1751 - 1831. In 1784 he went to Rome and perfected his art to the point of becoming the official miniaturist of the Court and the most famous artist in "the small genre of portrait-mignard". Dumont's works have a most modern freedom and daring; he proceeded with broad strokes, but he has been reproached for certain cumbersomeness. He is represented in the Louvre thanks to the generosity of the heirs of his son Bias. Louis XVI period Dimensions of the miniature: 4 cm x 3.4 cm Diameter of the box: 7.5 cm Note: wear and losses
