Auguste TOULMOUCHE (1829-1890) was a French painter who painted in the academic realism style. He moved to Paris at the age of 17 and within a few years exhibited at the Paris Salon and received an honorable mention and later a third class metal.
He also caught the eye of royalty, with paintings acquired by both Napoleon III and Empress Eugenie. Within seven years, at the age of 24, he had secured quite the reputation for his domestic scenes depicting women, particularly mothers, children, and luxurious portraits of Parisian women. He married Monet's cousin and worked for Monet's father to oversee Claude's artistic studies in Paris.
