The nicely hand-coloured scenes mostly depict moments Russian life, which had not been often shown at the time and are well representative of the mid-19th. century taste, such as The Happy Family, The Child Sleeps and Farewell. It also includes a few more traditional themes such as The Moutain Men from the Caucasus and the Bohemians at Rest.
Roussel (1804-77) mostly published views of Russia and its people, suggesting he visited this country. He was also a talented painter for porcelain (in Sevres) and stained glass (for the Louvre and Versailles especially).
