Jean-Daniel Welper

Welper,a painter from Alsace, was court miniaturist to Louis XV and Louis-Joseph, Prince of Condé, and also taught the king’s daughters to draw. Many of his works were used as official presents. Welper was one of the few miniaturists working in the mid-18th century who signed their works from time to time.
