# 43070 Jean-Baptiste Isabey "Portrait of a mid-aged gentleman in landscape", superb drawing!, 1830 Price: 3900 EUR (please note additional 13% tax applies for transactions concluded within the European Union) Of superior quality (as always in case of works of this artist) it is an important portrait drawing, executed in 1830 by the greatest French miniaturist of early 19th century, Jean-Baptiste Isabey. It shows a mid-aged gentleman in redingote, seated on a chair in the park of his residence. Jean-Baptiste Isabey (1767 Nancy - 1855 Paris) was the most famous of all European portrait miniature painters of the turn of the 19th century. In 1785 he went to Paris to study under David, but the great master had just left for Rome. At first in a tight financial situation, Isabey finally was ordered to paint miniatures of the children of King's brother, Count D'Artois. By means of this commission he came to court, met the Queen Marie-Antoinette and obtained an apartment in Versailles. In 1786 David returned from Rome, accepted Isabey as pupil without payment and favoured him in every way. At the time of the Revolution the artist already acquired significant clientele in Paris. He portrayed most of the Convention members, became one of the intimates of Mme Bonaparte's house. Isabey was a drawing master of Hortense and Eugene de Beauharnais; he controlled the ceremony of Napoleon's coronation and organized festivities for the Empire.
