It was raises of Desjobert and Jean-Leon Gérôme and medal-holder with the living room of the French Artists in 1882 and 1890 and with the World Fairs of 1889 and 1900. Its painting is inspired by the rural scenes of Berry.

Hugues Lapaire, the regionalistic writer berrichon, gives a completely adequate description of it: the tables of Armand Beauvais marvelously give the impression of this serious Berry to the broad horizons, with the plains solitary and naked, with the great extents of silence… its plow horses, its herds of sheep which the shepherdesses bring back to the falling evening, its goats who graze with the hedges, her cows crossing a ford or watering themselves with a pond, are the realization long and fine observation.

Armand Beauvais is the father of Georges Beauvais, one of the great names of the radio Frenchwoman, former collaborator of the Général Ferrié, he could attend the blossoming of the radio which was initially soldier, in particular of the T.S.F to the Eiffel Tower.
