About this comparison

Image-assisted line reconstruction; not exact geometry

Best-effort reconstruction from the cited reference image. Small source makes fine stroke wear and exact letter joins approximate; wording, flow, and lack of cartouche are preserved.

Visual rights remain unresolved.

Reviewed auction examples
