Caption
A Painter, 1855. Meissonier often depicted artists and musicians of the 1600s and 1700s engaged in their work. This artist is busy painting a small canvas depicting a nymph and satyr. The artist?s 18th-century costume?nearly 100 years out of date at the time of the painting?s creation?transforms the scene into a charming historical fiction. Meissonier exhibited the painting at the Paris Salon of 1857.
