EDITORS COMMENTS

In this particular artwork, Meissonier transports us to a picturesque terrace where we encounter a man dressed as one of the iconic characters from Alexandre Dumas pere's novel, The Three Musketeers. The attention to detail and technical virtuosity displayed in this oil painting on wood panel is truly remarkable.
