Specialist note

An early work, this academy can be dated around 1750, just as another example at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Quimper, which bears a similar signature (inv. 873-2-30; see S. Barthélémy in Dessins français XVIIe-XIXe siècles. Florilège de la collection du Musée des Beaux-Arts de Quimper, exhib. cat., Quimper, Musée des Beaux-Arts, 1999, no. 33, ill.).
