Object history Charles Clément (Prud'hon, sa vie, ses œuvres et sa correspondance. Paris, 1872, p. 300) pense que la miniature a été peinte par Constance Mayer « pour servir de couvercle de tabatière de M. Mayer, père ». Peu après la mort de Constance Mayer, la miniature, « démontée et placée dans un cadre rond » selon Edmond de Goncourt, revint dans les mains de Pierre-Paul Prud'hon qui ajouta ou fit ajouter les figures en grisaille de L'Innocence et de La Fidélité. Après la mort de Prud'hon, on retrouve l'œuvre dans la collection d’Eudoxe Marcille et de sa fille, Madame Henri Jahan, qui la prêta pour l’Exposition d’œuvres d’art du XVIIIe siècle, qui s'est tenue en 1906 à la Bibliothèque nationale (n° 398). Elle entra ensuite dans la collection de M. Chévrier puis dans celle de M. Pierpont-Morgan dispersée par la suite. En 1936, elle apparaît dans la collection de la National Gallery of Victoria, où elle se trouve désormais.

Licensing edit

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1821, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
