Inscriptions and Marks
  • inscription: upper right, graphite: 250; old mount: no mark; compare with Carlo Maratti. M.W. col. which obtained it I think from Warren's col. J Warren's col comprised part of the Tucker of Exeter (Engl) col the Pfaff col. the Cox col. the Amsterdam Pentionary col. Dr. Lettsom col & [?]. These in his old age he confounded and therefore the attribution of his col cannot be always relied on but it was made up from sales of the most valuable collections of his day from 1790 to 1830.
