At the beginning of 1840, Perrot was invited by Nicholas I to an important work in St. Petersburg . Before leaving, Perrot auctioned 116 of his paintings and some lithographs. After his admission to the Russian Art Academy , in September 1840 he was commissioned to make lithographs with city views, for which he was assigned an apartment in the Peterhof Palace and the Catherine Palace .
