The style is too impressionistic to be sure whether or not both copies are by the same hand. Another copy of this drawing, by Gabriel Beranger (1729-1817), is to be found in the National Libary of Ireland's Print & Drawing collection as TX 1958, page 44 Title inscribed in ink l.c. on sheet Watermark u.l. on sheet is a large shield, crowned Physical description: 1 drawing image 12 x 18.1 cm., on sheet 26.7 x 18.3 cm.
