in 1846, Feb. 2 ,
contained in part of Lot 271
the original brown wash drawing by Fragonard
lithographed between 1810-16
It was intended to be published in 1816,
but the publication saw light of day only after Denon's Death (1825)
posthumously in 1830.
However the four volumes entitled 'Monuments des Arts du Dessin...' of 307 prints did not contain this rare lithograph after Fragonard's composition ,
which survived only in a very few examples as loose exemplaires.

...Dans son court séjour madrilène, il ne semble pas que Denon ait été frappé par les chefs-d'oeuvre de Velázquez qui ornaient les appartements du roi Charles IV et des princes, au Palais royal de Madrid, dont Les Lances ou Les Ménines
D'ailleurs dans la vente Denon en 1826, le seul tableau attribué à Velázquez était en réalité du peintre hollandais Pieter Fransz Grebber (fig.5)
