Cuzin, François-André Vincent (1746-1816). Entre Fragonard et David, Paris, 2013, p. 426, no. P346). The subject is taken from an episode of Alain-René Lesage's Gil Blas de Santillane, a picaresque novel first published between 1715 and 1735, which recounts the adventures of a squire who becomes a companion and accomplice of highwaymen.
