Note: Philippe Regis de Trobriand, an amateur painter and member of a wealthy French family, emigrated to the United States in 1841. When the Civil War broke out, he became a colonel of the Union French-American forces, the Gardes Lafayette and was brevetted General. After the war, de Trobriand commanded forces in North Dakota; his painting skills were further honed at this time by his exposure to contemporary artists such as John James Audubon and George Catlin. In 1875, General de Trobriand was sent to New Orleans to command the occupation forces. After his retirement in 1878, he kept a winter home in New Orleans and was involved in the New Orleans arts community.
