Auguste-Xavier Leprince (1799 – 1826) was a French painter, drawer and engraver, best known for his paintings of agrarian scenes. His father, Anne Pierre Leprince, was a painter and a lithographer. His brothers, Leopold Leprince and Gustave Leprince, were also painters.
He painted Parisian street scenes and landscapes. He also did paintings depicting the farming life in rural France. For example, his 1822 painting La moisson showed labourers harvesting a field. His 1823 painting, “Embarquement des bestiaux sur le Passager dans le port de Honfleur” (Embarkation of Cattle on the Passager at the Port of Honfleur), became emblematic of the cattle paintings of that era. It once belonged to Charles X and is currently in the Louvre.
The landscape painter Eugene Lepoittevin was one of his students.
