The pastels were executed during Prud'hon's stay in Gray, Haute-Saône, from 1794 to 1796. They are similar to the Portrait de Claude-Anatoile Prieur, dit Perron (48.5 x 38 CM) in the Musée Baron Martin in Gray (see exhibition catalog no. 55). J.-P. Voïart (J.-P. Voïart, Notice historique sur la vie et les ouvrages de P. P. Prud'hon, peintre, membre de la Légion d'honneur et de l'Institut, 1824, p. 13-14) writes that Prud'hon made in "Rigny, near Gray, a large number of portraits in both oil and pastel, admirable for their talent and truth, all remarkable for their likeness and freshness of color". Sylvain Laveissière, author of the catalog for the 1997-1998 exhibition, points out that "the blessed period of the portrait is that of Prud'hon's stay in Franche-Comté, where he "went green" and worked quietly on the precious illustrative drawings for which Pierre Didot paid him a salary". After completing his portrait, Monsieur Barbizet became a printer. On his death in 1826, his wife, Jean Françoise Lhomme, took over the printing business. They had three children.
