Cultural/Historical Context

"Abel Lurat was primarily an illustrator/copyist who translated the work of other artists into drawings and engravings. In the age before photographic reproduction, his talent was in great demand by painters who wished to extend the distribution of their images. As his skill and fame grew, his work was often shown at the Paris Salon and published in periodicals."
