He executed numerous portraits of the Bern patriciate, including members of the Hervart and Duntz families, relations of Sabine, Lady Winn, the 5th Baronet's Swiss wife. This portrait, along with many other heirlooms of the Hervart family, was shipped from their home in Vevey to Nostell in 1781, on the death of Sabine's mother, the Baronne D'Hervart. The Baron d'Hervart was the father of Sabine, Lady Winn, wife of the 5th Baronet. Nostell Priory, West Yorkshire (Accredited Museum)
