<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4"><tr><td><em> Listed Artist!</em></td></tr><tr> <td width="100%"> This oil painting of a Musketeer (Mousquetaire) smoking a pipe is a subject characteristic of Roybet and one sought after by collectors. Ferdinand Victor Leon Roybet (1840-1920) was born in Uzès (Gard) and died in Paris. He was a portrait and genre painter from the French school. Roybet received his first training in Lyon, France. He then traveled to Paris where he was a student of Vibert. He exhibited in the Salon of 1866 and Princess Mathilde Bonaparte purchased his work. This solidified his career and future as a genre painter. In 1871 Roybet visited Holland where he studied the works of Rembrandt and Franz Hals. In 1893 he was appointed Chevalier de la Légion de Honneur.<p>His works are in major museums around the world including the Louvre in Paris, Metropolitan in NY, Tretiakoff in Moscow, Luxembourg, Boston, Learmont in Montreal, and many others.<p>Roybet has an extensive mention in Benezit where further details appear of his career, prizes, and museums that include his work in their collections. There is an old label in French on the back of the frame that reads: "Meuble Public, ...oel & Cie., St. Augustin, Avenue Victor Hugo 67, Rue Lecourbe 308." It comes in a gilt wood frame with small plaque in the botton front border that says "Roybet."
