Provenance
Bertin commissioned and acquired his portrait in 1832, and bequeathed it to his daughter Louise on his death. She passed it to her niece Marie, who married Jules Bapst, also director of the Journal. Their niece Cécile Bapst was its last private owner. Cécile sold it to the Musée du Louvre in 1897, where still it hangs on permanent display.
