Jean-Pierre Norblin de La Gourdaine (15 July 1745 – 23 February 1830) was a French-born painter, draughtsman, engraver, drawing artist and caricaturist. From 1774 to 1804 he resided in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, where he obtained citizenship. He is considered one of the most important painters of the Polish Enlightenment. His success in Poland was enormous, with great commissions from the finest families. He did not return to Paris until early in the nineteenth century. His style showed the influence of Antoine Watteau, and combined the Rococo tradition of charming fetes galantes and fetes champetres with a panorama of daily life and current political events, captured with journalistic accuracy. He created a gallery of portraits of representatives of all social classes in the last years of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
