Jean Restout the Elder
Jean Restout the Elder was a French painter. He was part of the Restout dynasty of painters, studying under his father Marguerin Restout. He is called "the Elder" to distinguish him from his son Jean [Restout the Younger], an accomplished painter of religious images.
He married Marie Madeleine Jouvenet, sister of the painter Jean Jouvenet, and his style resembles that of his brother-in-law so closely that many of Restout's paintings are misattributed to Jouvenet.
