Charlet, Nicolas-Toussaint (1792–1845)

French graphic artist. He was particularly successful in military subjects, as in Grenadier de Waterloo 1817.

Charlet was born in Paris. He served in the National Guard 1814, but lost his employment as a town-hall clerk 1816 owing to political changes. He then studied art under Antoine Gros. Charlet was a friend of the Romantic painter Théodore Géricault, whom he accompanied to London and interested in lithography.
