I have what looks to be a charcoal on leather or some material like it, signed Jules Breton w/ artist proof. Anyone know anything about such work by Breton?

Thanks James, great to know! Here is The Life of an Artist Google Books. Here it is on the Internet Archive. And here are some mentions of Jules Breton in posts on James Gurney's blog Gurney Journey: Theory of Sacrifices and Sotheby's 19th Century Preview.

Breton is a wonderful artist. He wrote an autobiography called “The Life of an Artist,” which is available for a free download on Google Books and other sources.
