He planned to give the pair to his mistress Madame du Barry, the former lover of King Louis XV. The artist probably presented this oil sketch to his patron for approval before beginning the canvas. The duke must have endorsed the composition, for the finished work reflects the sketch in most details. The finished painting was well received at the 1789 Salon, the French Academy’s annual exhibition of art by its members. De Brissac and his love were both guillotined during the French Revolution, which erupted the same year that the sketch was made.</P></SPAN>","remarks":"Kienbusch 4-6 Reinstallation Fall 2010, K4-6 May 2015, K 4-6 Rotation January 2017"},{"texttype":"Online","textpurpose":"Provenance","textentryhtml":"Gabriel-Auguste Godefroy; Godefroy sale, Paris, 14 December 1813, lot. 126; probably purchased at this sale by a descendant of the Duc de Brissac as a souvenir of the prestigious commission; by descendant to the family; Emanuel Moatti, New York and Paris.","remarks":"As per Giada Damen, IMLS Drawings 2018-2020"}],"media":[{"id":705,"uri":"https://media.artmuseum.princeton.edu/iiif/3/collection/2001-179_GS","isprimary":0,"rank":10,"mediatypeid":1,"mediaviewtype":"(not assigned)","restrictions":null,"caption":"Luna Digitization Project"},{"id":6669,"uri":"https://media.artmuseum.princeton.edu/iiif/3/collection/2001-179","isprimary":1,"rank":1,"mediatypeid":1,"mediaviewtype":"(not assigned)","restrictions":null,"caption":"Luna Digitization Project"}],"hasimage":"true","bibliography":[{"boilertext":"Jane K.
