This post is because I could not post all the pictures I consider important to understand my two precedents about French oil paintings on wood. First picture the Zouaves uniforms of a translator officer, the Krieger Maison console with the same garlands and the table, all of around 1840/50, and a Louis XIII original chair. A morning gown 1860 that was what I find similar to the one the sitting lady is using. The furniture of the first painting and pictures of oficials with similar uniforms.
Something about Louis Auguste Georges Loustaunau copied from Wikipedia. Born in Paris on September 12, 1846,2 Loustaunau trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris with masters such as Jean-Léon Gérôme and Eugène Barrias. He began as a landscape painter and in 1861 debuted with a View of Brittany at the Salon des Artistes Français. From 1876 he focused on contemporary genre scenes, both canvases and watercolors. Several of them show well-to-do married couples conversing in gardens and comfortable salons. He also painted some military subjects under the influence of Édouard Detaille, such as the painting Cuirassiers (1887) preserved in the Palace of Versailles. But contrary to the preciosist masters, who were inclined to depict musketeers and other soldiers of the 17th century in inconsequential and idealized scenes, Loustaunau stuck almost without exception to his temporal context; to the environment where he lived. Thanks so much for reading.
