Lot Report

Provenance:

Family of the painter, Théophile Hamel and his wife, Georgina-Mathilde Faribault, by descent

Note:

The engraved initials GBF are those of George-Barthélemy Faribault (1789-1866), a Canadian archaeologist, born in Quebec. He studied law and was admitted to the Bar in 1811. In 1812, Faribault served as a militiaman during the invasion of Canada by the Americans. In 1822, he entered the civil service, attaining in 1832 the rank of assistant clerk of the Legislative Assembly, an office he continued to hold until 1855.
