From the Cleveland Museum of Art record

After Pierre Lenfant served as the official battlefield artist to King Louis XV in the War of the Austrian Succession (1740–1748), he and his family were awarded a lifetime residence at the royal Gobelins Manufactory on the outskirts of Paris. This delicate study in colored chalks may depict a weaver pulling threads in the textile factory.
