Portrait Of François Guérin, Parmr Advent

"Beautiful portrait of Mr François Guérin, former merchant, painted by Mr Advenent, student of Mr Greuze, on June 24, 1808..." This is the text of the label stuck to the back of this painting, obviously from the period of the painting, friendly ecru of the painter, or by the model himself, to know as many details concerning this portrait. It is written Advenent, an error in one letter, but it is obviously the painter Advinent, everything corresponding to the attribution to this painter by his technique and his very beautiful portraits, very realistic and expressive in the nature of the characters. This one being a simple Merchant, a fairly rare subject at this time when generally it was rather important people who commissioned recognized painters for their portrait.. this one shows a merchant who has clearly succeeded in his field, sees his elegance and is quite proud of it. .. original canvas and stretcher with its original and period frame (partial lack of gilding). 4 very small patches on the back in the background of the painting, in no way altering the portrait or the original canvas. Otherwise perfect original condition. Only cleaning and varnishing was carried out. Dimensions: 50x62 cms without frame 63x 75 cms with its frame
