Description

A pocket on his apron is inscribed "Le feu Chapart", indicating a deceased member of the family, perhaps depicted in 1879, the date on the coat of arms. He holds a scalpel in one hand and a lap dog in the other. Left background, a horse with a wooden leg led by a groom. Right a horse in a trap. Around, veterinary instruments. Top right, a parody of the arms of Chantilly including a post horn and the date 1879

Antoine Bisetzky was the station master of Chantilly station, in which capacity he came into contact with noblemen and others who attended the racecourse at Chantilly. "Il recevait personnellement tous les personnages de marque venant à Chantilly. La salle d'attente de la gare était devenu un salon ou By [Bisetzky] recevait les voyageurs et ou Charles, son fils, prenait les commandes au nom des productions artistiques Bisetzky."--Cartonnages romantiques, op. cit. Many of his portraits were published in 1884-1885
