Self portrait, now at the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam

Jean Augustin Daiwaille (6 August 1786 – 11 April 1850) was a Dutch portrait painter.

Life

Daiwaille was born in Cologne, and went to Amsterdam as a young man, where he studied under Adriaan de Lelie. He was director of the Rijksakademie from 1820 to 1826. After that time he resided at Rotterdam, where he was very successful in painting portraits, and where he died in 1850. There is by him one etching, which is scarce.[1]

His daughter Elise Thérèse married one of his pupils, the painter Barend Cornelis Koekkoek. His son Alexander Joseph Daiwaille also became a painter.
