This and the following lot are part of a series of large portrait drawings in black and white chalk that stayed in Liotard's family until 1934. These were probably done in preparation for large pastels and were kept as ricordi by Liotard in his studio.
Anne de Herdt dates this and the following lot to 1758-62, when the artist lived in Geneva.
