Charlet Nicolas Toussain Study On Cardboard

study on cardboard by Nicolas Toussain Charlet representing armed revolutionaries, a woman and a child, a character hidden behind the door. CertNicolas Toussaint2, son of Toussaint Charlet born in 1765 and died on September 9, 1798 in Paris and who was a dragoon in the army of Sambre-et-Meuse and Aimé Anne Lache, lost his father at the age of six. Raised at the School for the Children of the Fatherland, he received a very neglected education. He started life with a mediocre job at the town hall of the 2nd arrondissement of Paris, responsible for registering and screening young recruits. His Bonapartist opinions and the active part he took in the defense of the Clichy barrier caused him to lose his place at the Restoration in 1816. Thus, he is represented alongside other defenders of Paris from Bonapartist circles in the painting by Horace Vernet, The Barrier of Clichy. Defense of Paris, March 30, 18143.
