Étienne Aubry

Étienne Aubry (1746–1781) was a French painter. He was born in Versailles. He studied under J. A. Silvestre and Joseph Vien, and soon became noted for his portraits and genre subjects. Aubry exhibited several works of great merit at the Paris Salon, but died at a young age in 1781, the same year that he exhibited the Parting of Coriolanus from his Wife.[1]
