Abstract

The article focuses on the contract for the painting "The Grand Attack on Valenciennes," by Philippe Jacques de Loutherbourg in France. The author stated that the contract was written in French and covers four pages, written in a scribal copperplate. It is implied that the painting was acquired at the Stargardt auction in Berlin, Germany on March 16 to 17, 1995. The author averred that the objectives of the contracts were to engrave a set of views of the ruins of the town. Furthermore, it is inferred that the entrepreneurs of the project include Valentine Green, Rupert Green, and Christian Mechel.
