Footnotes
It has not been possible to identify the artist with any certainty. There is a possibility that it could be by the Geneva artist Joseph Cabanel (1746-1838), with the 'S' standing for 'senior'. Cabanel was an enamellist usually associated with Marc Roux and Jean-Abraham Lissignol. He became a citizen of Geneva in 1767.
