Jean-Étienne Liotard (1702 – 1789),


was a Swiss painter, art connoisseur and dealer. He is best known for his portraits in pastel, and for the works from his trip to Turkey. He was born and died in Geneva, but spent most of his career in stays in the capitals of Europe, where his portraits were much in demand. He worked in Rome, Istanbul, Paris, Vienna, London and other cities. Liotard created works celebrating science, like the painting of woman paying homage to the doctor that saved her.
