Paul-Eugène Mesplès was a French painter and lithographer, nicknamed the "painter of dancers"; a figure of Montmartre during the Belle Époque, he was also an engraver and an accomplished musician. He sometimes signed Un Tel ("So-and-so").
Paul-Eugène Mesplès was born on 7 July 1849, the son of Jean-Marie Mesplès and Jeanne-Joséphine Malherbe, residing at 19 Rue des Nonnains-d'Hyères in the 14th arrondissement of Paris.
In the Franco-Prussian War, he was first a Garde Mobile of the Seine, and then a volunteer artilleryman. He finished the war as a lieutenant in the 145th infantry artillery regiment.
During the 1870s, after having been a free pupil of the painter Jean-Léon Gérôme, Mesplès drew caricatures intended for periodicals such as Le Monde illustré, which were light and sometimes naughty. His line was clean, cutting with precision the silhouette of the characters. His Paris studio was located at 29 Rue Clauzel.
His talent as an observer, his precision, were then noticed by the National Museum of Natural History, in Paris, which hired him to illustrate the collections of the fund. One of his most remarkable works of this period was Les plantes des champs et des bois: excursions botaniques printemps, été, automne, hiver (Paris: J.-B. Baillière and Sons, 1887).
