Pierre Daubigny

The uncle – and presumably also teacher – of the landscape painter Charles-François Daubigny was one of Aubry’s students, in whose studio he met his future wife, Amélie. The couple were married in Paris in 1829. Some of his miniatures were probably the result of a collaboration with his wife since their works are stylistically barely distinguishable. Pierre exhibited at the Paris Salon between 1822 and 1855. (We would like to thank Henry-Noel Canival, Paris, for the additional biographical information.)
