Jean-Laurent Mosnier
Introduction '''Jean-Laurent Mosnier''' (; (Paris) 1743 – (Saint Petersburg) 10 April 1808) was a French painter and miniaturist.Court painter under the Ancien Régime, Mosnier began, from 1789, a brilliant career as society painter in London, Hamburg and St. Petersburg. Many times academician, he left considerable work and high quality, both in miniature painting.Self-Portrait with Two Pupils is thought to have been the basis for Jean-Laurent Mosnier's painting of himself with his young daughters. It is thought that his ambition was to clone the success of Adélaïde Labille-Guiard's painting.
