Former Attribution: Louis Flix de La Rue (French, Paris 1731-1765 Paris); Formerly attributed to Louis Jean Desprez (French, Auxerre 1743-1804 Stockholm). Date: ca.1777.Acquired in 1971 as the work of Louis Jean Desprez, the drawing was re-attributed to Louis Flix de La Rue in 1977. In 2017, the attribution reverted to Desprez based on Marie-Anne Dupuy-Vachey's identification of the drawing as one commissioned from the artist by the abb de Saint-Non for his publication, Voyage Pittoresque. The sheet is described in a manuscript by Vivant Denon as representing the funerary cermony following the death of a celebrated actor (Dupuy-Vachey, M.-A., Vivant Denon et le 'Voyage pittoresque': un manuscrit inconnu, Paris: Fondation Custodia, 2009, p.116).
