Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (1780 – 1867),

was a French Neoclassical painter. Near the end of his life, he made one of his best-known masterpieces, The Turkish Bath (Louvre). Ingres died of pneumonia on 14 January 1867, at the age of eighty-six, in his apartment on the Quai Voltaire in Paris. The contents of his studio, including a number of major paintings, over 4000 drawings, and his violin, were bequeathed by the artist to the city museum of Montauban, now known as the Musée Ingres. The displayed painting is a crop from: Madame Edmond Cave, 1831-34.
