The Portrait of Armand Carrel is an 1833 portrait painting by the Dutch-French artist Hendrik Scheffer[1] depicting the journalist Armand Carrel. Carrel was noted for his co-founding of the Le National newspaper along with Adolphe Thiers and others. He was connected to the artist through his brother Arnold Scheffer who worked on the newspaper.[2]
The painting was exhibited at the Salon of 1833 at the Louvre. Today it is in the collection of the Musée Carnavalet in Paris, having been acquired in 1987.[3] Ary Scheffer, brother of Hendrik, also depicted Carrel on his deathbed in 1836. [4]
