Credits: | No signature on drawing, and the writing does not conform to the other hand-writings in the Cooper Collection. This drawing is attributed in Charles Tarrant (1730-1818) by Anne Crookshank and the Knight of Glin, on the basis that it is pasted into this album beside a drawing signed C.T.. This ascription is unreliable because the writing is very different and for the moment the drawing's author should remain anonymous |
