Niccolo Paganini was an Italian violinist, violist, guitarist and composer.

Although nineteenth century Europe had seen several extraordinary violinists, Paganini was the preeminent violin virtuoso of that century.

There are three authentic portraits of Niccolò Paganini. French artist Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres completed the pencil drawing that is Portrait #1 in 1819. Although Ingres (1780-1867) thought of himself as a historical painter, he was best known for his portraits.
