<p>[QUOTE="JamesonWest, post: 2858386, member: 16767"]Hey again! I didn't know if I should do an update post or just post it in the comments, but I managed to actually find the painting that my drawing is a study from, it's called Vénus et les Amours by Francois Boucher: <img src="https://www.christies.com/img/LotImages/2019/NYR/2019_NYR_17442_0112_000(francois_boucher_venus_et_les_amours031710).jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />. Oddly enough though my drawing, aside from some other differences, is a reversed version of the painting. I also found an engraving of the painting that was done five years later though, and that's also a flipped image of the painting, which makes me wonder if my sketch might just be a study from the engraving, and not the painting? Any other reason someone would flip the subject they were drawing?</p><p>Comparison pics:</p><p><img src="https://collectionapi.metmuseum.org/api/collection/v1/iiif/413469/777936/main-image" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[ATTACH=full]283436[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
