Claude-Marie Dubufe

Claude-Marie-Paul Dubufe (1790 – 1864) a French historical, genre and portrait painter, was born in Paris in 1790, and studied under David. His subjects were at first classical, and then scriptural. He then gave himself up to the painting of genre pictures and portraits.[1] His reputation rests chiefly on his portraits, of which he produced a large number. Dubufe, who was the last representative of the school of David, died at Selle-Saint-Cloud in 1864. Amongst his chief works are:
