Johan Bernard Scheffer

By 1788 he lived and worked in Utrecht and from 1790 in Dordrecht where in October 1794 he married the miniature painter Cornelia Lamme (1769–1839), daughter of the landscape painter Arie Lamme.

The family moved in 1798 from Dordrecht to The Hague, in 1801 to Rotterdam and in 1803 to Amsterdam.

[3][4] Scheffer produced several large historical works, and some portraits, including one of King Louis Bonaparte of Holland.

In 1808 he became court painter of Louis Bonaparte in Amsterdam, but he died only a year later at the age of 44 or 45.
