Bernardin de Saint-Pierre's Paul et Virginie (Paris, 1838), the series Les Franeais peints par eux-memes (Paris, 1840-42) and Louis de Chevigne's Les Contes remois (Paris, 1858).   Related Paintings of Jean-Louis-Ernest Meissonier :. | Jean-Baptiste de Roll-Montpellier enfant | Dimensions and material | Relief after the Battle | Friedland, 1807 (1875) Ernest Meissonier | Study of a horse |
