About this work
In this miniature, Henry Brintnell Bounetheau captured his love for his only child, Henry Du Pré Bounetheau (1842-1901), painted when the boy was seven years old. The painter’s son died in the great Jacksonville, Florida, fire of May 3, 1901. The Museum’s collection of miniatures by Bounetheau is a gift of the son’s widow, Emma Hudnell Bounetheau.
