专家说明

Lami began his career as a lithographer, depicting mostly military subjects. By the late 1830s his attention had shifted to subjects of royal pageantry and bourgeois society. After the fall of Louis-Philippe in 1848, Lami fled to England where he chronicled the festivities of English society in his watercolors. The present sheet dates to his English period.
