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 :. | Ernest Meissonier Self portrait | Dimensions and material of painting | Napoleon on the expedition of 1814 | Study of a horse | The siege of Paris in 1870 |
