Inscriptions
Inscription: Recto: lower left corner, graphite: “h.”. Verso: lower centre, graphite, William Clarke's hand (former Courtauld conservator) so likely transcribed from a frame or mount that he removed in 1983: “Colln of John Lord Somers 1652-1716. / S Paris Dec 10th 1769. [should be 1759] / Hagen / M.H. Speelman Colln”; lower right, graphite, modern hand: “KTN-”.
Collector's mark: ? Recto: lower left, stamped in black: D, looks similar to François Desmarais (L.3358) but is smaller. The drawings of Desmarais did not leave their album, dated 1729, until their sale in Paris in 1984, so the provenance above precludes that.
