Louis Carrogis de Carmontelle was an 18th century French artist, designer and writer. Most notably, he worked for the Duc de Chartres, and created a series of portraits for the duc’s household and visitors in pencil and watercolor. He created these very quickly, in a matter of less than two hours, and featured his sitters in profile. Some of Carmontelle’s sitters included members of the court and historically famous individuals such as a young Mozart and his father. In all, some 750 of these portraits were collected and sold after his death, and are considered most valuable by art historians.
