Note: Pierre Édouard FRÈRE was a French painter, engraver and lithographer of the École d’Écouen. He specialised in genre scenes of everyday life depicting children from rural backgrounds, which were particularly popular in the Anglo-Saxon countries. He is credited with founding the Écouen painters’ colony. He was the younger brother of the Orientalist painter Charles-Théodore FRÈRE (1814–1888).
