Peter Adolf Hall was a Swedish-French artist who mainly devoted himself to miniature painting. He had originally studied medicine at Uppsala university but later started working in enamel and miniature painting instead of becoming a doctor, to his father's chagrin. After travelling abroad Hall began to work as an artist in Paris in May, 1766. Three years later, at the age of 30, he was elected to the French Academy of Fine Arts. He painted portraits of the Dauphin of France, the prospective Louis XVI, as of his two brothers, who also would ascend the throne eventually. Peter Adolf Hall was then appointed a court painter or Peintre du Roi et des Enfants de France. According to an account book kept by his wife, between the years 1782-87 Hall painted an average of 70 portraits a year, of nobilities in general and people from the fashionable society. Hall was present at the Storming of the Bastille as a revolutionary officer. In 1791 however he went into exile and was never reunited with his family in Paris again. His wife's inherited wealth was confiscated by the nation. Hall supported his family from abroad as best as he could, but died in Belgium a few years later. These family letters eventually came to the Nationalmuseum, Stockholm, as a gift by Sten Westerberg (Asplund tells the story of how this came about, in Konst, kännare, köpmän, 1962, pp. 103-6).
