... Édouard-Henri-Théophile Pingret (30 December 1788 in Saint-Quentin, Aisne – 1875 in Paris 8e) was a French painter and lithographer.
Life
He was born at Saint-Quentin, Aisne, the son of a middle-class family in a mainly agricultural region, but also home to the celebrated General Cambronne and to illustrious notaries and Normandy judges.
