Notes

Humbert & Revilliod record that the impression in the BN, Paris, has on it a brief biography written by Liotard himself. According to this, the plate was etched in 1733, when Liotard was still a pupil of Massé. The print is very rare. Apart from a third impression that was recorded in the family collection in 1897 (now in the Rijksmuseum, see Bulletin 59 2011, pp.204-7), there is one counterproof, sold by Christopher Mendez to the Lugt collection in 1982, which is of an earlier state before extra shading in the background and to the face. It has a manuscript annotation by a contemporary: 'Portrait de Liotard peintre. il a pris ensuite un habillement turque et portoit une langue barbe. il reussissoit aux portraits en pastel qui étoit d'un grand fini.' See 'Morceaux Choisis', Paris (Collection Frits Lugt) 1994, cat.75.

Another impression was acquired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2009 (Perrin Stein, 'Artists and Amateurs', 2013, cat.56). She prefers to date it to 1731.

[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:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.


You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States.

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.
