French landscape painter Royer later became an art professor at the Académie Julian and the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he taught many well-known artists. He himself studied at the same institutions, after having started his studies at the École des Beaux-Arts in Nancy. Royer was known for figure, portrait, genre, and landscape painting in Brittany, especially from the aristocracy, politics, diplomacy, science and the arts. Based on the title, the submitted work could be the oil painting Pêcheurs: Côte basque, even if it is said to have been created a few years later.
