Inscriptions
Inscription: Mount: Recto: lower centre, brown ink: "FR. DE TROY". Verso: upper left, graphite: "No. 195"; upper centre, graphite: "Bas" [upside down]
Label removed from former mount (?), now in file, graphite: "De Troy. / Tableau de St. Etienne du Mont?"
Collector's mark: Recto: lower left corner, stamped in red ink: Charles Gasc (L.543); lower left corner, stamped in black ink: possibly Emile Wauters (L.911) [doesn't look quite like L.911, really looks like an 'S' below the 'W' and not an 'e'].
