AUGUSTE DENIS RAFFET (1804-1860) Portrait of an Austrian Soldier
stamp ‘RAFFET (SAN DONATO)’ (lower left)
watercolour, pencil on paper
34.5 x 24 cm
Provenance : Collection of Count Anatoly Nikolaievich Demidov, 1st Prince of San Donato (1813 –1870), Russian industrialist, diplomat and arts patron of the Demidov family. In 1837–38, he organized a scientific expedition of 22 scholars, writers and artists, of which Auguste Raffet and the critic Jules Janin became Demidov's friends. He also considerably expanded the Demidov collection assembled by his father at the Villa San Donato near Florence.
