Jean-Jacques Hauer

Jean-Jacques Hauer or Johann Jakob Hauer (10 March 1751 – 3 June 1829) was a German painter active in France. Hauer is known to have painted the portrait of Charlotte Corday before her execution.[1]

The artist who drafted the portrait of Charlotte Corday in the tribunal was M. Hauer, painter and National Guard officer for the Theatre Francais. Being back in her cell, she asked the janitor to allow him to enter to finish his work. M. Hauer was let in. Charlotte thanked him of the interest he took of her fate and posed in front of him with serenity
