Dufaix - portrait of Comte Bouthier de Pennovere

This miniature portrait appears to be signed "Dufay 1825", which perhaps should be read as Dufaix.

However, it is possibly by the Swiss artist Dufey who was active 1806-1816.

The sitter is identified indistinctly on the reverse as Comte Bouthier de Pennovere.
