Originally from Dijon, Hippolyte Francois Moreau (1832-1927) first exhibited at the Paris salon in 1859, whilst studying under Jouffroy. His work is charateristically of animated, often young figures as in this example, frequently of allegorical subjects, often similar in subject to works by his younger brother Auguste.
