I have found a few etchings of this. My copy let&#039;s call it was found in a a storeroom on a farm in Ohio-it was first framed in the 50s and then in the 80s according to writing on the back. i found it at ARC thriftstore. This past weekend i finally took it out of the frame and looked at the paper and looked for a signature. No signature. Paper seems to be wove. The etchings stem from 1757 or there about so I&#039;m trying to work out if this could have been preliminary drawing. Here is an etching. <a href="https://www.nga.gov/collection/art-object-page.110852.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.nga.gov/collection/art-object-page.110852.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.nga.gov/collection/art-object-page.110852.html</a></p><p>There is a book that lists the versions of this, including what seems to be a missing drawing,&quot;n° 489, (lost drawing, known through engraving)&quot; <a href="https://www.gazette-drouot.com/en/lots/13048420" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.gazette-drouot.com/en/lots/13048420" rel="nofollow">https://www.gazette-drouot.com/en/lots/13048420</a>. by Sahut 1977 that i have found and ordered off ebay. So what i know - 1. image is Corp de Garde 2. Wove paper would have been around in 1757 according to post above. 3. There is no signature 4. it was found in Ohio</p><p>The other really interesting bit here is what we call an easter egg these days. If you look on the table near the plate there is a mustard pot. on it in red lettering it says mou tar fin. I&#039;ve researched the shape of the mustard pot and that was the shape that was produced in the mid 1700s- so that seemingly helps to date this as well. see page 5 here <a href="https://www.yumpu.com/fr/document/read/43361603/il-n-est-moutarde-qu-a-dijon-musaces-de-bourgogne" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.yumpu.com/fr/document/read/43361603/il-n-est-moutarde-qu-a-dijon-musaces-de-bourgogne" rel="nofollow">https://www.yumpu.com/fr/document/read/43361603/il-n-est-moutarde-qu-a-dijon-musaces-de-bourgogne</a>. I have put together a video of me taking the image out of the frame and looking at it close up and will post it when it&#039;s finished uploading.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
