Nicolas Jacques (Jarville, 1780 - Paris, 1844) Portrait of Major Joseph Jacques, his wife Henriette and their daughter Victorine Miniature signed on the right. Height 31.5 Width 23 cm. (accidents and missing parts, as is) Provenance: through family descent, Tours. Second lieutenant in the 6th Horse Artillery Regiment, Joseph Jacques (Nancy, 1778- Paris, 1844) took part in the campaigns of the Sambre et Meuse armies in 1797-98, then the Danube in 1799. On March 25 of that year, a cannonball took his left thigh during the battle of Stockach. Amputated the same day, he was put in charge of inspecting the Sampigny construction park in 1811, then stranded on the Vistula until 1813, when he was taken prisoner by Prussia. Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur on June 22, 1804, he was made Chevalier de Saint-Louis on January 31, 1815. Here, he poses in front of his brother's easel with his wife Henriette Julliet (1776-1871) and their daughter Victorine (1806-1906), probably around 1808-1809. Nicolas Jacques, a pupil of David and Isabey, was considered one of the finest miniature painters of his time, exhibiting at the Salon from 1804 to 1840 and working in Bonapartist circles before becoming the portraitist of the Orléans family.190
