PESNE, Antoine The Artist at Work with his Two Daughters

French painter (1683-1757) French painter active in Prussia. He studied with his father, the portrait painter Thomas Pesne (1653-1727), and with his maternal great-uncle, Charles de La Fosse.

While in Venice, Pesne painted the portrait of Friedrich Ernst von Knyphausen
