Henry Scheffer
Henry Scheffer is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This Dutch painter in Paris spent his days sketching politicians and his evenings playing chess in a smoky Left Bank café. Everyone remembers him for painting Louis-Philippe of France as a regal but slightly tired king, one finger resting on a book. Tap the Portrait of Louis-Philippe in the Louvre to see how Scheffer made power look ordinary, no crown, just a man and a shelf of books behind him.
