Charles Stanley Reinhart (May 16, 1844 - August 30, 1896) was an American painter and illustrator in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. After having been employed in railway work and at a steel factory, he studied art in Paris and at the Munich Academy under Straehuber and Otto. Afterwards he settled in New York, but spent the years 1882-1886 in Paris. He was a regular exhibitor at the National Academy in New York, and contributed illustrations in black and white and in colors to the leading American periodicals. Among his best-known pictures are: Reconnoitring, Caught Napping, September Morning, "Moonshiners", Mussel Fisherwoman, At the Ferry, Normandy Coast, Gathering Wood, The Old Life Boat, Sunday, and English Garden; but it is as an illustrator that he is best known.
