LITERATURE:<\/p>\n

Kusenberg, 1931, 162, as Boyvin after Rosso.<\/p>\n

Zerner, in EdF<\/em>, 1972, 333, under no. 439, as Boyvin after Rosso.<\/p>\n

Borea, 1980, 263, no. 68, ill., p.265.<\/p>\n

Davis, 1984, 23, Fig., 56, no. 7 (Los Angeles).<\/p>\n

K. Wilson-Chevalier, in Fontainebleau<\/em>, 1985, 93-94, no. 40 (Paris).<\/p>\n

Carroll, 1987, 215, n. 3, under no. 68, as not after Rosso.<\/p>\n

Acton, in French Renaissance<\/em>, 1994, 290, under no. 71, as related to the engraved masks after designs attributed to Thiry.1<\/sup><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The monogram on the second and third states of this print indicates Boyvin as the engraver, and all but one who have mentioned this work in print have attributed its design to Rosso.\u00a0 Linzeler made no comment on the authorship of the figure.\u00a0 Borea pointed out that the figure is stylistically related to the drawing of a Costumed Male Figure Carrying a Small Decorated Box<\/em> in the Biblioth\u00e8que Nationale in Paris (Fig.RD.26<\/a>) and the two are almost certainly companion pieces designed by the same artist.\u00a0 This artist also did the Figure in Costume<\/em> in Berlin (Fig.RD.1<\/a>).\u00a0 But as argued in the catalogue entries of the two drawings, these costumed figures are not by Rosso, nor do they seem to be by Thiry.\u00a0 The suggestion that these drawings are by Boyvin, and hence the design of this engraving as well, cannot be proven.\u00a0 There is no evidence that Boyvin designed any of his own prints.<\/p>\n
