Christophe Fratin (1801–1864) Fratin Portraying Himself Bronze with a light brown patina Stamped “FRATIN” Bears the foundry mark “Fie de L Richard Eck et Durand” H. 20 cm While self-portraits by 19th-century French artists are often tinged with self-indulgence, Christophe Fratin depicts himself in the form of a caricature. The disproportionate limbs, the grimacing facial expression, and the numerous animals serving as attributes characterize this amusing portrait in the style of the famous caricatures by his contemporary Edouard Dantan.
