Not on view

The print has been trimmed so that the inscriptions at bottom dating the print and attributing it to Littret de Montigny after Schenau published by Quilliau are missing. However, the print matches an entry in the Madame de Pompadour catalogue (2002) and a description on the British Museum website.
