Huet villiers, original unsigned work.
Villiers was born in Paris in 1772. He exhibited portraits at the Paris Salon in 1799, 1800 and 1801, and then settled in London.
He was a versatile artist, he drew landscapes, animals and architecture, but he stood out in his miniature portraits and oil paintings.
He was appointed painter of miniatures to the Duke and Duchess of York, whose portraits were engraved, as were those of Louis XVIII, the Duke and Duchess of Angoulême, the Duke of Enghien and Madame Quentin (wife of George Augustus Quentin). [2]
Villiers painted many actresses and other ladies with mythological characters, and his "Hebe" was very popular and frequently recorded. He exhibited mainly at the Royal Academy of Art and other exhibitions from 1803 until his death, and was a member of the Associate Artists in Watercolors from 1807 to 1812.
He published two series of engravings: Rudiments of cattle (1805) and Rudiments and characters. of Trees (1806–7), and he made the drawings for some of the plates in R. Ackermann's History of the Abbey Church of St Peter's Westminster, its Antiquities and Monuments (1812). Villiers died in Great Marlborough Street, London, on 28 July 1813, and was buried in St Pancras Churchyard.
