Charles ESCOT (1834–1902), after Maurice Quentin de LA TOUR (1704–1788), circa 1874 Bust portrait of Jean-Jacques Rousseau Pastel, signed upper left 44.5 x 37 cm La Tour’s original portrait was exhibited at the Salon in 1753. Highly prized by the philosopher himself, the pastel inspired several replicas and variations, not only by Maurice Quentin de La Tour but also later by several 19th-century portraitists. Charles Escot is one of them. Attributed to the artist, another replica of this portrait of Rousseau is known to exist, housed at the Louvre Museum (Paris) (inv. MI 1116).
