Lot Essay

Alastair Laing, to whom we are grateful for his help in cataloguing this drawing and for supporting its attribution to Boucher, notes that another version of this head study is at the Kupferstichkabinett, Berlin (inv. KdZ 1419). Given the higher quality of the work presented here, he believes it to be the original from which the Berlin drawing was derived.
