inscription - on the back in recent writing in the old style: "this magnificent peristyle was started in 1665 and continued until 1667 as shown in the drawing. The work has been resumed since 1756 under the orders of mr le marquis se marigny, dir gl des bâtiments du roy. The demolished parts at the top of the colonnade are part of the old louvre and are not included in the reconstruction of the new one. "

characters in front of the louvre
historical commentary:
this drawing should be compared for style and composition with card02402 (copy of a drawing by swebach-desfontaines first attributed to gautherot) and card05472 (copy of a drawing by duplessi-bertaux). Do the similarities between the three drawings come from the fact that they were made by the same copyist? wouldn't these drawings be student developments based on drawings by their masters, to prepare for the engraver's work?
