Notes
Donald Oenslager rejected the attribution to Jean Le Pautre (1618-1682) suggested by the inscription on the mat. He argued that the treatment of the cliffs with their castles and foliage treatment seem much closer to Giacomo C. Torelli (1604 or 1608-1678) and may have been influenced by his set for "Andromide," Act III, Paris, 1650 (engraved by F. Chaveau).
