| Description |  |
Louis-Auguste Schwiter (1805-1889) was a painter of portraits and landscapes. Delacroix began this painting shortly after a trip to England, and it shows the influence of the portraits he admired here. Delacroix reworked the painting after it was rejected for the 1827 Paris Salon. The landscape background is by his friend, Paul Huet.
