*

Édouard-Henri-Théophile Pingret (30 December 1788, Saint-Quentin - 3 July 1869 - or 1875, Paris), French painter and lithographer. Born into a middle-class family, his father was yet related to the highest spheres of the Protestant aristocracy. The son studied under painter Jacques-Louis David as well as Jean-Baptiste Regnault, and also at the Accademia di San Luca in Rome. He exhibited in the Paris Salon from 1810 onward, and was made a chevalier of the Légion d'honneur in 1831. From 1850 to 1855 he lived and worked in Mexico City, exhibiting annually at the Academia de Bellas Artes. His most important works in Mexico were costumbrista genre scenes.
