Morphology
Jean + Auguste + Dominique + Ingres
This item is a full personal name (a proper noun) whose referent — a French classical painter — is not derivable from the individual name components. Knowing the constituent names does not allow a B1 learner to infer the biographical meaning or profession; personal names are referential and largely arbitrary across languages, so the meaning is not compositional.
Etymology
Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres was a French painter who painted with very smooth, clear lines and calm faces in his portraits. That's why his name is used to refer to a leading 'classical' portrait painter from the 1800s.
