Catalogue Note
Danloux was born in Paris but spent time in Rome and London. In London he was particularly influenced by the fashionable portrait style of Thomas Lawrence (1769-1830), John Hoppner (1758-1810) and George Romney (1734-1802). Danloux's charming portrait is delicately drawn with a precision in the details. His subtle handling of chalk lends a particular sensitivity to the sitter's features.
