"Louis Hector Leroux (27 December 1829, Verdun-11 November 1900, Angers) was a French painter in the academic style, affiliated by critics with the Neo-Grec movement in art. He specialized in meticulously researched paintings of ancient Rome, especially depictions of women. He was best known for a series of some thirty paintings which spanned his entire career, depicting Vestals virgins. His daughter, Laura Leroux-Revault [fr], was also a painter." - (en.wikipedia.org 05.09.2023)
