專家說明

Intended to serve as a frontispiece to the third edition of Président Hénault's sumptuous Nouvel Arbrégé Chronologique de l'Histoire de France contenant les évênements de notre histoire depuis Clovis jusqu'à la mort de Louis XIV (1749), this composition was never actually engraved. Charles-Antoine Jombert, to whose sale it can be traced, was an early patron of Cochin and owned a large number of the artist's drawings, which he described at length in his 1770 catalogue (op. cit.).
