In 1808 Brewer produced another two-volume tale, The Witch of Ravensworth, and at about the same time he published The Juvenile Lavater, stories for the young to illustrate Le Brun's "Passions", which bears no date, but of which there were two or more issues, with slightly varying title-pages.
In art, depicting a face reflecting the ravages of jealousy was a frequent studio exercise: see for instance drawings by Charles Le Brun (1619–1690) or Sébastien Leclerc (the Younger) (1676–1763), or in a fuller treatment, the howling figure on the left in Bronzino’s An Allegory with Venus and Cupid (probably 1540-50).
Through him were procured the valuable paintings by Philippe de Champaigne, Charles Le Brun, Hyacinthe Collin de Vermont, Pietro da Cortona and others, that adorn the chapel.
