- "The horses of Mr. Lalaisse are of an excellent and true painting" by A. de La Fizelière in Salon of 1850-1851,
- “The horse of oriental race, by Mr. Lalaisse, is perfectly studied. The look, the dress, the whole, everything seems very good to us in this painting. » in Journal des beaux-arts of July 15, 1849, p.50,
- “He rode as well as Carle Vernet – which is saying something. All his studies are very beautiful. The drawing is vigorous, the color solid, the musculature excellent. » in The Hôtel Drouot and curiosity in 1883-1884, p. 339,
- “Hippolyte Lalaisse was more than an excellent draftsman. Endowed with a flexible and varied talent, possessing remarkable qualities of observation that Géricault, his first master, had immediately distinguished, he had been first an engraver, then an aquafortist, and he was not long in signaling himself in turn. turn as a landscape painter, animal painter, genre painter, and, above all, as a painter of military subjects and watercolourist”. in The Review of Ancient and Modern Art by Émile Dacier, p. 74.
Naturally shy, the artist lived in retirement and had in the long run, thanks to his talent, a particular clientele. When they bought a canvas from him, Lalaisse would paint them, on top of that, their horses, and their team.
He was also a prolific lithographer, especially in the representation of Breton regional costumes and uniforms.
