Catalogue Note
Une bergère d'un dessin assez proche est conservée au Musée Nissim de Camondo (inv. CAM 136), attribuée à Jean-René Nadal l'Aîné et datée vers 1775 : elle présente une marque du garde-meuble du comte d'Artois. Moïse de Camondo acquit ce fauteuil lors de la vente de la collection Jacques Doucet en 1912.
