Notes |
After a lost drawing by Watteau, drawn when he was in London in 1719/20. For another impression, see 1981,U.2304. Mariette (Abecedario, VI p.109) recorded on his impression of the print that it was of a Dr Misaubin, and added 'C'étoit un chirurgien françois, refugié en Angleterre, grand charlatan, qui se vantoit avoir des pilules, remède immanquable contre la verole; lui seul en étoit persuadé, car avec ses pilules qui devoient faire, à ce qu'il disoit, la fortune de sa famille après sa mort, notre docteur étoit misérable et perissoit de faim. Wateau, qui peut-etre avoit éprouvé l'insuffisance du remède, dessina cette charge dans un caffé pendant son séjour à Londres'. |

[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
