This is a copy of Le Souvenir by Jean-Honoré Fragonard (1732-1806) in the Wallace Collection in London, which is smaller in format than the present composition (inv. no. P382).In his monograph on the artist, Jean-Pierre Cuzin mentions the existence of another version on panel (similar in size to the painting in the Wallace Collection), which he does not rule out as actually being that in the Wallace Collection (J.-P. Cuzin, Fragonard, Life and Work, New York, 1988, L5, p. 341). An engraving by Nicolas Delaunay (1739-1792) popularised this composition, which was often copied in the Nineteenth Century.
