This lithograph reproduces Géricault’s early painting, "The Poor Family (or A Spinner)," which was acquired by the Duc d'Orléans, the future King Louis-Philippe, from the artist's estate in 1824. The print was produced as part of a series based on the Orléans collection. A première pensée sketch for the painting's composition appears on a study sheet in the collection (46.164).
