Notes The painting was completed by a New Orleans portrait painter whose first name is unknown. His brother was an engraver and printer active in New Orleans between 1835 and 1842 named J. F. Feuille. In 1836, Metoyer Commissioned M. Feuille to paint his portrait.

The painting was on the plantation owned by the Metoyer family. Eventually, a white family purchased the plantation and when the matriarch of the family died in the 1970s an auction was held but no one bid on the work of art. A local priest named Father Russo associated with a church erected by Nicholas Augustin Metoyer named St. Augustine Catholic Church bid on the painting because of its importance to the local community.
