拍品专文

Melchior-René Barré was apprenticed to the master goldsmith Jean Frémin in 1751and became master in 1768, sponsored by Jean-Louis Bouillerot and living place Dauphine. In 1774 he has moved to the quai des Orfèvres, advertising the loss of 'une tabatière marbrée avec un portrait de femme'. Barré retired in 1791.
Jean Daniel Welper (ca. 1730-1789) born in Strasbourg was a miniature painter to Louis XV and a drawing teacher to the King's daughters. The greater part of Welper's miniatures were mounted on valuable boxes and used as gifts offered to foreign diplomats. The miniature is here after the portrait of Louis XV in full regalia painted by Louis-Michel Van Loo in 1763 now in the Chateau de Versailles.
