Note du spécialiste


This figure is from the first series of Parisian street-traders. It was based upon the first page of the third edition of Études prises dans le bas Peuple ou les Cris de Paris published in 1738, from an engraving by the Comte de Caylus after Edmé Bouchardon.

In October 1744 the figure is mentioned in Renicke's work records as: '1 Tyroler, einen Tabulet-Kasten tragend mit Bildern in der Hand, 9 Zoll hoch, in Thon bossiret'.
