As convincingly demonstrate comparison with other works of this artist (see for example our web see our web # 41295) we are dealing here probably with a work of well-known, late 18th century, French miniaturist Louis-Andre Fabre.
Louis-Andre Fabre (1750 Geneva - 1814 La Chaux-de-Fonds) was a miniature painter on ivory and enamel. In 1790 he became a citizen of Geneva; also, it is known that in 1776 he was a collaborator of another miniaturist on enamel, J.-F. Soiron; in 1780 he was master of P.L. Bouvier and David Bellamy. In 1789 Fabre exhibited in Salon of Geneva a portrait painted on enamel. It is possible that the artist lived in Paris after 1790 (Schidlof says that "although his works are frequently found there, they are very rarely signed" and only one miniature portrait signed by Fabre is known!!). Schidlof refers to Fabre as to an "excellent miniaturist".
