"the Rest Of The Acrobats"
Artist: Joseph Athanase Aufray 1836-1885
Joseph A. Aufray was a French painter who lived in Écouen, north of Paris. The richness of detail in his paintings is impressive. This painting is a prime example. Its dimensions (sight size) are 45 x 34 cm. He was invited to the Salon almost every year until his death. He also exhibited abroad: in Cologne in 1873 and in London in 1876. It may have been on this last occasion that he met Charles Dickens, as a photograph, published by Robert Hindry Mason in December 1869, depicts the writer and his two daughters, hand-colored by Joseph Athanase Aufray. In 1878, he illustrated a short story by the English author, *The Mugby Branch*. This realist artist was "distinguished" by Émile Zola in his commentary on the 1866 Paris Salon.
