Description

This drawing came to the museum in 1961 with an attribution to the architect Jean Augustin Renard based on an inscription on the back of the sheet. As pointed out by Petra Lamers in 1995, however, the composition corresponds to an engraving featured in the abbé de Saint Non's Voyage pittoresque which bears an inscription noting that the model for the print was drawn by Louis Jean Desprez, as were many other prints in the same publication. Medium: pen and gray ink, watercolor over traces of black chalk.
Additional Makers: Formerly attributed to - Jean Augustin Renard (French, 1744–1807)
