Antoine Vestier (1740 – 24 December 1824)[1] was a French miniaturist and painter of portraits, born at
Avallon in Burgundy, who trained in the atelier of
Jean-Baptiste Pierre. He showed his work at the Salon de la Correspondance, Paris, before being admitted (agréé) to the
Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture in 1785, when a portrait of the painter
Gabriel François Doyen, was his morceau de réception.
