Jean Augustin Daiwaille (6 August 1786 – 11 April 1850) was a Dutch portrait painter. Born in Cologne, he travelled to Amsterdam as a young man, where he studied under Adriaan de Lelie. He was the director of the Rijksakademie from 1820 to 1826, where he was instrumental in obtaining a lithographic press and instructing students in its use and technique. This self-portrait of Daiwaille, executed in pastel on parchment, is in the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.Painting credit: Jean Augustin Daiwaille
