A student at the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Paris, Beaumont distinguished himself for his artistic versatility, working both as a painter of historical and mythological subjects and as a book illustrator and interior decorator. He was particularly appreciated at the court of Napoleon III, where he carried out important commissions for palaces and noble residences. He exhibited regularly at the Paris Salon from 1836 and received numerous official commissions, becoming one of the most sought-after artists of his time for wall decorations and decorative panels. The small painting, probably the sketch for a large wall decoration, features a mythological scene of great executive refinement, organized according to a vertical scheme that emphasizes the main figure of Andromeda at the center of the composition.
