專家說明

Seated on the back of a dolphin, Neptune is shown here while holding a coat of arms, perhaps that of Corsica. The fact that the head of the moor is facing right suggests that the drawing was intended to be engraved, as in heraldry the head of a moor in profile is shown facing left. Furthermore, the drawing has been indented for transfer, another indicator that is was intended as a design for a print. The sheet might have served as a design for a vignette in a map of Corsica, but no such related map appears to be known.
