AUBRY Louis-François (1767-1851), AND STUDIO , PORTRAIT THE ARTIST, CIRCA 1800
The self-portrait of Aubry is in the Louvre museum, but we know seven versions of this miniature. The one in Wallace Collection by Mrs Jacquotot, one by Mathie, one monogrammed J.a.. (Tansey Collection), an unknown in E.P.S collection., another unknown sold in Brest in 2012 and finally this version. We can wonder : did Aubry, as Augustin, give his portrait to copy to his pupils?TECHNIQUE:
