Click-to-enlarge image can be found here (with a short description), or at the only work by this artist, so far, to appear in Mr. Melcher’s blog.Portrait of the Villers Family is described by its current-location page (Google translated), which speculates it may involve the family of Marc-Etienne de Villiers du Terrage.The sons may have been 16 and 10 in 1790, so maybe that’s one in the background. The daughter may have been 8, so she isn’t in this. In addition to pointing to the painting itself, this points to 4 interactive detail images, and a description of what’s in the oval grisaille. The artist’s Wikipedia page and tiny collection.
