Portrait of Adéone

It is a life-sized depiction of his daughter Louise-Adéone shortly after her 15th birthday.

The painting belongs to the Musée des Beaux-Arts of Strasbourg, France.

[1] In a letter from 13 June 1812 to her brother Michel Martin Drolling, Louise-Adéone states that the painting is currently being made and that it will be exhibited at that year's Salon de Paris "if there is no obstacle" (si rien ne s'y oppose).

Not content with depicting the "charming physiognomy"[3] of his daughter, he also makes a spectacular display of his talents as a flower painter and as a designer of porcelain.

The actual tea service seen in the painting is now kept in the Musée des Arts décoratifs.
