He was born in St. Petersburg, but spent much of his working life in Paris where his name was often translated to Lanceré and his large contemporary appeal resulted in the Susse foundry publishing a catalogue of over one hundred of his models. However both of the examples offered here were cast by the French fondeur F. Chopin who established himself in St. Petersburg in 1838, was by 1857 considered to be the principal supplier to the Imperial court and exhibited at the Paris Exposition Universelle in 1878. Chopin is known to have also produced versions of each of these groups dated 1870.
