Portrait of a lady

Johann P. Bardou was a portrait painter who mainly created his pictures using pastel painting .

From 1756 he learned drawing and painting from Blaise Nicolas Le Sueur (1716–1783), director of the Prussian Academy of the Arts in Berlin .

He dealt with portrait painting in pastel, less often in oil. His works received acclaim in Berlin, Leipzig, Frankfurt and Breslau. In 1775 he received an invitation to Warsaw and probably also to Saint Petersburg . From 1788 he returned home to Berlin. From 1784 to 1794 he worked in Russia. In 1809 he visited Königsberg.

Many of his works have only survived in the form of copper engravings.

In 2013 the Warsaw Historical Museum in England acquired nine portraits of the Warsaw Tepper Fergusson banking family.

Johann P. Bardou was confused by Johann Heinrich Füssli with the Berlin painter Paul Joseph Bardou (1745–1814) as early as 1806 .
