Note du spécialiste

Pierre Rosenberg and Louis-Antoine Prat have dated this study to circa 1716 (P. Rosenberg and L.-A. Prat, op. cit., no. 449). They noted that the same child, with the same dress and hat but with slightly less round in the face, appears on the right of a sheet of figure studies by Watteau, now in the Louvre, Paris (Inv. 33366; op. cit., no. 229).
