Napoleon I Four Drawings Signed Nicolas Toussaint Charlet

Suite of four drawings depicting L'empereur Napoléon I à Saint Hélène signed Nicolas Toussaint Charlet (1792-1845).
The four scenes are annotated as follows:
-"The Emperor complaining to the Grand Marshal and General Gourgaud about the outrages Hudson Low is inflicting on him"
-"The Emperor's Last Moments (May 5, 1821)
- "Hudson Low coming to see for himself that the Emperor is dead"
- "The Emperor's tomb at Saint Helena"
These extremely fine drawings are the work of Nicolas Toussaint Charlet, a fervent supporter of the Empire and a pupil of Gros. He quickly excelled as a draughtsman rather than as a painter, and his subjects of choice were guided by his political opinions. Many of his works are preserved in French museums.
The drawings are presented in black lacquered frames with black passe partout.
