Sale room notice

Another version of this composition, formerly in the collection of Paul Mellon, was sold at Sotheby's London (18 November 1981, lot 66), where it was attributed to J.-G. Hamilton. Alastair Laing (written communication) has suggested a possible attribution for the Lagerfeld painting to J.-B. Martin fils. He has also identified the subject of the picture as King Louis XV after his first mounting on a horse at the royal Château de La Muette on 8 May 1720.
