Joseph-Marie BOUTON (Cádiz, 1765–Chartres, 1823). Portrait of a man against a background of a wall (a prison wall?) and vegetation, wearing a gray suit and an embroidered red waistcoat, in a three-quarter-length portrait facing left, circa 1793–1795. Miniature on ivory (Elephantidae spp.*) signed in the upper right: Bouton (Cracks that do not affect the subject, small chip on the left edge, oxidation, discoloration of the suit.) Diameter: 7.3 cm Set in a gilded metal medallion with a loop Diameter: 8 cm (mounting needs repair.) The unusual wall background may evoke the walls of a prison, as miniature painting was practiced in prisons during the French Revolution.
