Joseph Ducreux

Portrait of the Artist in the Guise of a Mocker ; circa 1793

June 26, 1735 - July 24, 1802

Joseph Ducreux was a French noble, portrait painter, pastelist, miniaturist, and engraver, who was a successful portraitist at the court of King Louis XVI of France, resuming his career at the conclusion of the French Revolution. He was made a baron and the “First Painter to the Queen” and drew the last portrait ever made of King Louis XVI before the King's execution. His less formal portraits reflect his fascination with physiognomy (a person's facial features or expression, especially when regarded as indicative of character or ethnic origin) and show an interest in expanding the range of facial expressions beyond those of conventional portraiture.
