- Curator's comments
- From a series of plates engraved by Chapron and Dorigny (among others) and representing dionysiac scenes; the plates described by Robert-Dumesnil (IV.254.12-17) are all anonymous and it is therefore difficult to attribute them with certitude. Him and P.J. Mariette attribute them to Dorigny.
A related drawing is in the Louvre (inv. 25199, recto). See Laveyssière, Jacquot and Kazerouni, 'Nicolas Chaperon', 1999, cat. No.18
