Domenico Duprà completed his apprenticeship in Rome in the atelier of Francesco Trevisani. If at the beginning of his career he was attracted by the models of portrait painters of the contemporary French school, in his later portraits he was instead influenced by those of Jacopo Amigoni and Louis-Michel van Loo. He worked at the court of John V of Portugal and later in Rome for the exiled Stuarts. In Turin, he was a portrait painter along with his brother Giuseppe for the Savoy royal family.
