Signed in plate on the lower left and under the second image. Is not dated but we can attribute the period early 19th Century. Editor Meyer & C. Paris. Passpartout cm 50x32,5 The artist presents two images: the Grandma tells her grandchildren a tale and and above the representation of the story. Good conditions except for a small tear of paper on the right margin, that doesn't affect the image. Nicolas Toussaint Charlet (1792 - 1845) was a French painter. A disciple of Antoine-Jean Gros, he was a Bonapartist and is remembered for his paintings depicting historical episodes such as the Russian campaign of 1812 and the Napoleonic ascent. His masterpiece is The Retreat of Russia of 1836, now at the Musée des beaux-arts in Lyon; the painting was admired and praised by Eugène Delacroix. More than paintings, he owes his fame to the fisegni and to the prints; it was Géricault who taught them of a strong and colorful lithography. less
