Production date: ? AD 1792 : This miniature was in the possession of Augustin at his death. In his notebook which covers the year 1792, Augustin records paintin a miniature of M. Robergeot-Lartigue [sic]. The next entry records three miniatures commissioned by Mme Robertjot-Lartigue. A side-note reads: 'Mme Lartigue me doit ces trois derniers, le cadre en or, la glace le tout - 100 Louis.' It is just possible that Augustin gave the sitter only a first sitting because she did not pay the 100 louis. If so this miniature is datable as above.
