BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Source: unknown, to be determined.
Biography engraver: Attributed to Jan Leendert Beijers (1838-1899) a reknown Dutch publisher, antiquarian and auctioneer from Utrecht. Early on he re-published ao. some of the plates by Boilly after acquiring several of his lithographic stones/plates. We assume him to be the author of this drawing.
Biography artist: Louis-Leopold Boilly (1761-1845) was a French painter and draughtsman known for his genre scenes, portraits, and depictions of Parisian life. His refined draftsmanship and keen observation made him highly successful during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Many of his compositions were reproduced as engravings and lithographs, extending his popularity across Europe.
