Text below title, lightly printed and only partially legible: La femme [de Putiphar accuse] Joseph devant son mari.
According to Nicholas J.S. Knowles, the handwriting on the plate and a few stylistic clues point to Thomas Rowlandson as printmaker. Knowles posits that Rowlandson copied a print by Caylus (IFF 378(6).II; British Museum online catalogue, registration no.: 1865,0208.6) rather than copying the original drawing formerly attributed to Rembrandt (currently in the Louvre, inventory number: NV 22908, Recto). Rowlandson made a series of reproductive prints after old master prints starting from about 1783, and Knowles suggests an early- to mid-1780s date for creation of this particular plate.
Late-20th century restrike on modern paper, with pencil annotation "TR/RP/80" in lower right that suggests a 1980 printing date. The copper plate would have been in the possession of the successor Leadenhall Press in England at the time, according to Nicholas J.S. Knowles. - Provenance
