Lot Essay

The attribution to Servandoni was endorsed by Dr. David Ryley Marshall at the time of the 2011 sale. The composition is closely related to Servandoni's 1731 reception piece for the Académie Royale, now in the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Paris (see L'Ecole de la liberté, exhibition catalogue, Paris 2009, no. 192).
