Leonard Defrance (1735 - 1805)

Walker Art Gallery

1789

The painting is signed twice, once in conventional manner, also painted as though in molten metal poured into a mould. The date may have had special significance for Defrance as he took a prominent role in the revolutionary movement in Liege.
