Notes:
There are five etchings by Charles Knapton (ca. 1700-1760), after drawings by Giovanni Francesco Grimaldi (1606-1680), an Italian painter, draughtsman, printmaker, and architect also known as Francisque Bolognese, in the series "Prints in Imitation of Drawings" (1732-1736).
Numbers 26-30 in Henry M. Hake, ""Pond’s and Knapton’s Imitations of Drawings," Print Collector’s Quarterly, vol. 9, no. 4 (1922): 324-340. One of them, a landscape with five figures bathing in a river (Hake No. 29), is pictured here.
