Jean-Baptiste Greuze, 1765 - Jean Jacques Caffiéri (1725-1792) - fine art print

Original artwork description as provided by the museum's website (© - The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Museum of Art)

This subtle portrait, with its smoothly blended surface and narrow color range, is believed to represent Jean Jacques Caffiéri, Greuze’s contemporary and a prominent sculptor. The sitter’s mild expression belies a strong character. A very old label with the names of artist and sitter is glued to the stretcher bar that supports the canvas, so that when the work reappeared in 1912 it was tentatively identified with the portrait of Caffiéri that Greuze showed at the 1765 Salon.

The classic art painting called Jean Jacques Caffiéri (1725-1792) was painted by the male French artist Jean-Baptiste Greuze in 1765. The original was made with the size: Oval, 25 1/4 x 20 3/4 in (64,1 x 52,7 cm) and was manufactured with the techinque oil on canvas. Nowadays, this artpiece belongs to the art collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art. We are glad to mention that this public domain work of art is supplied with courtesy of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Bequest of Ethel Tod Humphrys, 1956.
