- The demand for portraits of Napoleon was so great that it could only be satisfied by many artists painting them. This miniature by Saint is characteristic of a type established by Jean-Baptiste Isabey, (cf. M8 and M229) Napoleon's principal portrait painter in miniature, that was also produced in large numbers by other artists. Saint was one of Isabey's principal pupils.
