LE TELLIER Jean-Baptiste (1759-1816), PORTRAIT OF A GIRL, MINIATURE CIRCA 1790
Charming portrait of a girl by 1790. Although it is particularly carefully painted, certain elements make us give this beautiful miniature to Jean-Baptiste Le Tellier (son). His touch evolved enormously throughout its career, passing as very marked hatchings in faces in XVIIIth century, to a finest dotted line in the beginning of XIXth century. But certain characteristics remain, as here in touch, in the way of making eyes, long lashes and a general expression of face.TECHNIQUE:
