Recognized by the world best specialist for portrait miniatures Dr. Bodo Hofstetter (Switzerland) (see also his publications) (in his email of May 4th 2008) as an absolutely original and very fine work of the famous Swiss miniaturist of the turn of 19th century Pierre Louis Bouvier.

Pierre Louis Bouvier (1765 Geneva - 1836 Geneva) began by studying enamel painting in Geneva with Louis-Andre Fabre. From 1778, he attended Ecole de Dessin in the same city; from 1785 to 1788, was a pupil of Antoine Vestier at the Academy of Fine Arts in Paris. Subsequently, Bouvier produced mainly miniatures on organic wafer, as well as a number of oil portraits. In 1797-1801, he lived in Hamburg, in 1804-12, 1822 and 1827 - in Paris. Otherwise, the artist lived in his native city of Geneva, where, in 1828-36, he directed the Painting School of Museum Rath. Bouvier exhibited at the Salon of Paris in years 1804, 1806 and 1808; in 1808 - a miniature of Empress Josephine that belonged to her daughter, the Queen of Holland. In 1816, he painted the portrait of Mme de Stael, which he engraved himself: it is the only known engraving by him. In 1827, he published a \"Manuel des jeunes artistes et amateurs en peintre \", which was translated into English and German.
Schidlof says that \"Bouvier can be considered as one of the best miniaturists from Geneva at the beginning of the 19th century\".
Works of this artist belong to collections of Louvre, the museums of Bordeaux, Geneva, Hamburg, etc.
