    Louis Tocqué (1696-1772)
    Born in 1696, Tocqué was orphaned at the age of 10 and taken in by Nattier. Trained by Bertin, he perfected his portraiture with Hyacinthe Rigaud. He became a member of the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture in 1720 and pursued a brilliant career as a portrait painter, receiving numerous commissions from members of the French aristocracy and royalty. He then moved on to the Russian court, working for Empress Elisabeth and then the Danish court.
    He was renowned for his ability to capture the likeness and personality of his subjects with great skill and sensitivity.
    Tocqué captured the model's understated charm and elegance.
    His works were highly sought-after by collectors of the time, and his reputation led to his appointment as official portraitist to the French court in 1746.

    The artist's works can be found in numerous museums: Louvre, MBA Tours, Musée de la chasse...
