Catalogue Note
Monsieur Audoy était le directeur du Trésor public de la ville de Paris. Selon le livre de compte de François Dumont, un portrait de la femme ainsi qu’un portrait de la fille du modèle lui ont été commandés la même année que l’œuvre que nous présentons. En l’An V (1796/97) Dumont peignit un portrait de la petite-fille d’Audoy. Monsieur Audoy mourut à Paris au 16 rue de Petit en janvier 1807.
Monsieur Audoy was the Director of the Public Treasury in Paris. According to Dumont’s fee-book, he painted the sitter’s wife and daughter in the same year as the present work and then, in the fifth year of the revolution (1796/7), Audoy's grand-daughter too. Monsieur Audoy died in Paris at 16 rue de Petit in January 1807.
