Louis Ferdinand Elle the Younger (1648 in Paris – 1717 in Paris), was a French portrait painter and the son of Louis Ferdinand Elle the Elder.
Biography[]
According to the RKD he was educated at the Académie de peinture et de sculpture, and moved after 1686 to the provinces, namely Nantes and later to Rennes.[1] This was possibly due to the competition in portrait painting in Paris by the artists Nicolas de Largillière, Hyacinthe Rigaud, and François de Troy during his period of activity there.[1]
