Ten Servants (Verso)

Jean-Gabriel Eynard

The J. Paul Getty Museum

The J. Paul Getty Museum
Los Angeles, United States

Jean-Gabriel Eynard carefully recorded the names and positions of his servants on the backs of the daguerreotypes he made of his large domestic staff. Thus it is known that he employed maids, valets, a butler, cooks, a milkman, coachmen, grooms, and gardeners for both flowers and vegetables. Eynard made this study and another group portrait of his servants outdoors at his country house near Rolle, on Lake Geneva, some distance from his principal residence in the city.
