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? acquisition mode: unknown acquisition mode institution: carnavalet museum, history of paris inventory number: d. 12587.
