Lot Essay

A similar drawing by Caron, perhaps related to the same commission, is in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, J. Erhmann, Antoine Caron, Peintre des fêtes et des massacres, Paris, 1986, p. 213, fig. 213: it represents Apollo and the Muses in an inscribed shape, also for a decorative panel.
