Marc-Antoine Hervier (as mentioned in the registry of births, deaths and marriages; not Marie-Antoine!) was a pupil of David and Aubry, and exhibited at the Salon of Paris from 1810 to 1817. He worked as a painter and miniaturist, and was for some period active in England. Schidlof writes that, "Hervier was an artist who drew well and who seems to have been influenced by Augustin".
