Notes

Google Art Project names the artist as Joseph Soulacroix; the museum website states it is Charles Soulacroix; but the painting matches the style of Frédéric Soulacroix. The likely confusion is explained in the bio of Frédéric Soulacroix at Art Renewal:

“Frédéric is very often confused with his father Charles [i.e., Charles Joseph Frederick Soulacroix (1825-1897)]. Frédéric’s signature is however unmistakable: his works are always signed F. Soulacroix - generally in red - whilst Charles always signed C. or Ch. or Charles Soulacroix. More info at museum site
