This is from the website of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Unfortunately they do not include a picture of the inscription. You can find the listing here:</p><p><a href="https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/198597" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/198597" rel="nofollow">https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/198597</a></p><p>Click on &quot;Signatures, Inscriptions, and Markings&quot; on the left side of the page. It says</p><p><b>&quot;Signature: Incised on tranche of neck: P. L.&quot; (This is Paul-Victor Lebas, the original artist -- French, active 1852–76)</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>&quot;Inscription: Scratched on back in script: E. Guyetant Succs de Michelini, 1867&quot;</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Meanwhile, I will also tag two people who will probably come here soon anyway, but just in case...
