Antoine Vestier (1740–1824) was a French miniaturist and painter of portraits, born at Avallon in Burgundy, who trained in the atelier of Jean-Baptiste Pierre. He showed his work at the Salon de la Correspondance, Paris, before being admitted (''agréé'') to the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture in 1785, when a portrait of the painter Gabriel François Doyen, was his ''morceau de réception''. Among his sitters was the royal ''cabinet-maker'', Jean Henri Riesener (1786, Musée de Versailles). Further portraits include *The Chevalier de Latude, 1789 (Paris, musée Carnavalet) *Nicolas-Guy Brenet, painter, 1786 (Paris, musée du Louvre) *Jean Thurel, fusilier, 1788; this aged veteran wears three medals, witness to his seventy-two years of service (Tours, musée des Beaux-Arts) *A Chevalier of Malta holding the portrait of the Bailli de Hautefeuille, commander of the Order, 1788 (Dijon, musée des beaux-arts). ==Further reading== *Sueur, Jean-Claude.
