François-Hubert Drouais (1727-1775) "Portrait of a Woman, Said to be Madame Charles Simon Favart (Marie Justine Benoîte Duronceray, 1727–1772)" (1757) Oil on canvas Located in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, New York, United States In 1745 Mademoiselle Duronceray—the singer, dancer, and comedienne probably portrayed here—married Charles Simon Favart, the father of French comic opera. Among her best-known roles was that of the heroine in The Loves of Bastien and Bastienne, 1753, in which she inspired a revolution in theatrical costume by wearing authentic peasant dress. Drouais’s portrait of her seated at a harpsichord recalls traditional representations of Saint Cecilia, patron saint of music.

François Hubert Drouais - Portrait of the Marquise d'Aigurande - Clevelandart
Like many French portraitists active during the ancien régime, François-Hubert Drouais was skilled at veiling the physical imperfections of his subjects. This portrait certainly has this quality: the face has been idealized, smoothed, and perfected, but the focus of the painting is less on the Marquise and more on her elegant gown, which is a particularly fine rendering of eighteenth-century printed cloth, with the brilliant gold and white fabric strewn with meticulously detailed flowers and lace.

Gentleman
The great hall: hier könnte auch William Wade, also Thomas Gainsboroughs Gemälde des Captains der englischen Navy, des Zeremonienmeisters oder Protokollchefs hängen, wenn es nicht woanders hängen müsste, nämlich in der Victoria Art Gallery.
In der großen (Eingangs-)Halle hängen gerade 10 Portraits und Doppelportraits im großen Stil. Gainsbororoughs Doppelportrait der Hallets und ihres Hundes, dessen Wischmopphaftigkeit derjenigen von Mrs. Hallets Frisur kaum nachsteht, hängt hier gleich ums Eck: links neben Drouais' Portrait des Comte de Vaudreuil.
Nahezu alle Portraits stammen aus der Phase, der Thomas Vesting in seiner Geschichte und Theorie der Rechtssubjekte die Figur des Gentleman zugeordnet hat (und die er mit William Wades Bild illustriert hat.
Wie singen die Groben in England zu dem Portrait?
All at once I was struck with the portrait of Wade, 
Which tho’ like him in feature tis much too tall made 
And looks, like its master – ashamed of its trade 
For it’s drawn as if walking alone in the fields 
In a jauntee undress which the present mode yields 
Uncovered – as tho he intended to bow 
To an ox or an ass – to a heffer or cow.

My hormones are all over the place today so inspired from this and this posts by draw-a-circle-thats-the-foxhole —
I had to search up some portraits for Matthew and hopefully, portraits for both Matthew & Alfred.
Tumblr media
Le Petit Boudeur by Jean-Baptiste Greuze
That's the face of a toddler who toddled his way from Québec to Nova Scotia. Alasdair commissions a painting right away and here's Matthew sulking and confused as to why he has to sit still for hours but at least he gets a father figure as a reward.
Tumblr media
Portrait signed by Theodore Kelley
This is arguably a better portrait for Matthew. Composed and obedient. I'm not sure what those flowers are but Matthew holding flowers prophetically speaks of his identity—lilies, roses, tulips, and poppies.
The painting as a whole is more personal—something you hang in an office or library (which guardian is the question), than something you hang in the sala of your Château to show off your fur factory, settler colony, newly-acquired baby...
like this:
Tumblr media
Portrait of Philippe Egalité (1750) by François Boucher
Obnoxious ruffles and tons of toys to compensate for the lack of quality time? Sounds like Francis Bonnefoy to me. Matthew is not staring properly as an act of mini rebellion for having to wear a stuffy, rigid gown (or perhaps something else caught his attention). It's not his fault he's not breeched yet. Also, he just wants a proper coat for winter, like this:

Portrait of a young boy as an artist by François Hubert Drouais
Now this is what Arthur commissions after France cedes Canada. Matthew is breeched and is thriving as a lover of the arts himself. He gets to do what he wants and be painted the way he wants. This portrait now hangs in the Kirkland museum in Arthur's manor.
Tumblr media
Young man distracted by Jean Raymond Hippolyte Lazerges
(just imagine that the man in the portrait is blond lol)
It's early 1860s. Alasdair commisions this painting to celebrate Matthew's Dominion status. His Petit Bourdeur is now Adulte Boudeur (idk I don't speak French). Although he's not entirely independent yet, Matthew's dishevelled and exhausted now that he's learning to navigate politics on his own. But what causes him distress the most is Alfred's Civil War.

Les Portraits de MM. De Béthune Jouant avec un Chien (1727) by Francois-Hubert Drouais
Here we have Alfred inventing country music, and Matthew being French with that fancy hat. They still appear to be the same age here but Alfred grows up faster—
Tumblr media
The Children of the Duc de Bouillon (1756) by Francois-Hubert Drouais
This is perfect. I want this commisioned on late 1760s or early 1770s before the American Revolution. Matthew on the viewer's left is talking about the pretty flowers or the moose he found while strolling. Alfred on the right just wants to read the latest publication of a philosopher-political-scientist but indulges his brother anyway.
By the 1890s, Alfred & Matthew will have more photos than paintings. That's all for now!
