Title: Edmond Cavé (1794-1852)
Caption: Edmond Cavé (1794-1852). Artist: Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres (French, Montauban 1780-1867 Paris). Dimensions: 16 x 12 7/8 in. (40.6 x 32.7 cm). Date: 1844.
Cavé held the high-ranking posts of inspector and director of the fine arts administration during the reign of King Louis-Philippe. Ingres painted this portrait soon after Cavé's marriage in 1844 to Marie-Elisabeth Blavot Boulanger. It was intended as a companion to the picture of Cavé's wife that Ingres had painted a decade earlier (43.85.3). After Ingres consulted Cavé about the dimensions of his wife's likeness, he executed the portrait by transferring a drawing of the sitter (Musée Ingres, Montauban) onto the canvas.
