J. M. Collot d’Herbois, Director of the theatre of Geneva. 1880.

Etching by Frédéric Hillemacher (1811-1886).

Published in Collot d'Herbois: Légendes noires et Révolution by Michel Biard. - Presses Universitaires de Lyon, 1995.

It is known that Frédéric Hillemacher is the author of a series of portraits of XVIII century actors. These portraits were based on contemporary drawings. Thus it is possible to surmise that the present portrait is also based on a contemporary drawing made from life. The description appearing at the bottom which reads "J. M. Collot d'Herbois. Director of the theatre of Geneva" suggests that the original drawing may be dated around 1784-1787 when Collot was the director of that theatre.

The drawing appears to be based on the engraving of E. Deschamps after Yan Dargent (above) which in turn might be based on the Bosselman/Raffet engraving (at no. 4 above).

Artist, engraver and publisher, Bonneville published, during 1796-1806, three series of the portraits of the famous characters of the French Revolution (Portraits des personnages historiques de la Révolution).

This portrait may be based on a work by François Bonneville. H. Lyonnet mentions in his Dictionnaire des comédiens français an engraved portrait of Collot d’Herbois by Bonneville "in two states". This may well be a reference to the present portrait coupled with the below portrait at no. 18. The two are remarkably similar and appear to have been sketched within a short space of time from one another.
