Drolling [Drelling; Drölling].

French family of painters. Both (1) Martin Drolling and his son (2) Michel-Martin Drolling were portrait painters; whereas the father expanded his range by concentrating on bourgeois domestic interiors, the son produced a number of history paintings on mythological and religious subjects. Another of Martin Drolling’s three children by his second wife, Louise-Elisabeth (née Belot), was Louise-Adéone Drolling (b Paris, 29 May 1797; d before 1831), otherwise known as Mme Joubert; she also practised as a painter.
