Jean-Laurent Mosnier

Many times academician, he left considerable work and high quality, both in easel and miniature painting. Self-Portrait with Two Pupils, by Adélaïde Labille-Guiard, is thought to have been the basis for Mosnier's similar self-portrait with his young daughters. It is thought that his ambition was to clone the success of Labille-Guiard's painting.
