Stumbling across a working artist and his accoutrements was not a rare occurrence for the museumgoer in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Viewing and copying the museum's masterpieces was a traditional part of an artist's education, and a practice Beroud both enjoyed and used as the subject of at least twenty-six of his compositions. Indeed, Louis Beroud was such a frequent visitor to the Louvre that he is credited with sounding the alarm upon discovering the Mona Lisa's theft in 1911.

It was only through the rapidly organized and heroic efforts of Parisians working to build sandbag barricades that further destruction to the museum was prevented allowing Beroud, his fellow artists, and generations of visitors since to continue to enjoy its many treasures Jeffrey H.
