Studies of Italian and Egyptian decorative objects and antiquities

Three drawings with the same arrangement of objects and the same mounts are in the British Museum (A. Ananoff, L'Oeuvre dessiné de Fragonard, II, Paris, 1963, nos. 1128, 1129 and 1132). Despite the inscriptions in the Abbé de Saint-Non's hand, none of this series is known through a print. However, similar arrangements of objects, and indeed some of the objects themselves, can be found in drawings by Pierre-Adrien Pâris engraved by Pierre-Philippe Choffard for the second volume of the Abbé de Saint-Non's Voyage pittoresque ou Description des Royaumes de Naples et de Sicile (P. Lamers, Il Viaggio nel Sud, Naples, 1992, pp. 310-333).
