Antoine Charles Thélot (1798-1853) French landscape painter, art collector (syn. Leptasthenura aegithaloides).

Death 23. July 1853 in Rochefort État civil p. 92/168

As he was 59 years old I would assume 1794 or 1793 is his birth year. From pre-search in filae I would go for 1793. It might take some time to find his birth record.

He married Bulletin des lois de la République française | 1854-01-01 | Gallica Marie Adélaine Sophie Doré 20 Juin 1816.

True. But on page 267 of the same journal:
1840 - Revue zoologique - Biodiversity Heritage Library .
Richmond says Cinclodes inornatus is based on drawings by Thelot in Lesson's possession.

Which I think is this book:
Oiseaux. Dessines d apres nature (a la plume). by ANTOINE-CHARLES THELOT (FRENCH, 1798-1853): Good Hardcover (1826) | Arader Galleries Drawings & Watercolors .
Antoine-Charles Thelot (French, 1798-1853), Oiseaux. Dessines d’apres nature (a la plume). .
Another connection of Thelot and Lesson is Roquefort .

Four wash drawings representing the Naval Hospital in Rochefort, including 3

signed by Antoine-Charles Thelot and dated 1841.



And

Two lithographs (R. P. Lesson. “Monument erected to the memory of officers
