Pierre-Joseph Dedreux-Dorcy

Pierre-Joseph Dedreux-Dorcy (28 April 1789, Paris - 9 October 1874, Bellevue, Switzerland) was a French genre painter.

His paintings, one of which, called 'Bajazet et le Berger,' is in the Museum of Bordeaux, are in the style of Greuze.

[2] When Géricault fell ill after a fall of his horse, he stayed with Dorcy for over a year.

He afterwards declined an offer to resell it to an American for thrice the price he paid, and sold it one week later to the French government for the same 6000 francs, on the condition that it was to be placed in the Louvre.
