Footnote
Note: A handwritten note on the back of this miniature gives a spurious attribution to the artist and sitter as Jacques Antoine Arlaud (1668-1743) and his wife Peggy. This is unlikely, however, the miniature bears closer similarities to the work of Arlaud's great-nephew, Louis-Ami Arlaud-Jurine (1751-1829)
