EUGENE DELACROIX. Baron Schwiter (Louis Auguste Schwiter, 1805-1889)

EUGENE DELACROIX. Baron Schwiter (Louis Auguste Schwiter, 1805-1889). Artist: Eugène Delacroix (French, Charenton-Saint-Maurice 1798-1863 Paris). Dimensions: Image: 8 5/8 x 7 7/8 in. (21.9 x 20 cm) Sheet: 11 5/8 x 8 3/4 in. (29.6 x 22.3 cm). Date: 1826. Baron Schwiter was related to Delacroix's friend Jean-Baptiste Pierret, and it was probably through this relationship that he met and became friends with Delacroix. The artist completed this portrait of his friend and fellow painter when the baron-to-be was just twenty-one. In the same year he began a painting of Schwiter, which was refused a place in the Salon of 1827; it was later purchased by Degas and now hangs in the National Gallery, London.
