The career of Jean Simon Fournier, a Parisian and a student of Regnault, is best recorded between 1791 and 1799, for he was an ambitous attendant of the Paris Salon during this period. Fournier, with the present painting, not only illustrates his excellence in depicting the perfect classical profile, but also demonstrates how skillful a painter he is in presenting heightened drama.
