On a recommendation from Baron Gérard, King Louis-Philippe chose the Romantic painter Ary Scheffer as his children’s drawing teacher.

Some years later, during his studies at the Henri IV secondary school in the years 1830-1840, it was with great ease that Henri d’Orléans, Duke of Aumale (1822-1897), drew caricatures using a quill and ink of his teachers or members of his entourage, including his family.
