Abstract
This is an article in response to the piece by Marie-Anne Dupuy-Vachey, et le Pastel: Nouvelles Contributions a la Connaissance du Portraitiste, that appeared in the Revue de l'Art, no 205/2019-3, pp. 61-73. It published, under the name of Jean-Honore Fragonard (1732-1806), a series of fourteen portraits drawings, in relation to the illustration of the Histoire de la Maison de Bourbon de Desormeaux that has since entered into the collections of the Louvre. The author rejects this attribution and argues, on the basis of stylistic conparisons, in favor of Francois-Andre Vincent (1746-1816), who was also involved in the illustration of this same work. It is considered that nine of the portraits are by Vincent, and that the five others, different in quality and in their conception, are anonymous copies of projects by Fragonard.
