Pupil of David. He was specialised in miniatures. In 1792 he
painted the portraits of the most important members of the french
government. He was a friend of the Bonapartes and made a drawing
of Napoleon on the terrace of Malmaison, without Napoleon having
to pose for it. Napoleon created him ceremonial painter and
cabinet painter. Under Charles X he became royal painter and
Louis-Phillipe made him Honourable Conservator of the Museum.
