Notes
This is a rather basic drawing, possibly after an antique relief, or it may be from a relief panel in a chimneypiece. The hand is similar to that found in Adam vol.26/156, 157 and 160, all here attributed to Claude Francini. Claude Francini was a contemporary French sculptor who died in 1773. This drawing may be a later addition to the volume.
