This portrait is of Alexandre-Louis Leloir's grandfather, the artist Alexandre-Marie Colin (1798–1875). Colin also sat for his portrait around the same time by Alexandre Louis' mother, the artist Héloïse Suzanne Colin (1820–1873) and Alexandre-Louis’ aunt Anais Toudouze (1822-1899), also an artist. Heloise's drawing is signed but not dated but Toudouze's is dated October 1863. Alexandre-Marie Colin would have been 64 at the time.
