My Head.


The second self portrait I ever painted. I was 23 at the moment, so I was still very young.

Paris, France

April 16, 1755. That's when I was born in the gorgeous city of Paris. This is a photo of more recent times, so Paris looked a bit different around the time I was brought into the world.

The Queen of Prussia


After my return from Russia in 1801, I stopped by Berlin, where I met Louise Augusta, Queen Prussia. She was a pleasure to have been acquainted to, and I was over taken and astonished by the unique features and royal charm she held. I had to create a portrait.
