Ink and wash on paper, 1811, inscribed 'un dejeuner a l'oeil', dated and inscribed with initials 'TG' lower left, variously inscribed on the reverse, with labels from Kunstmuseum Winterthur.

8 3/4 x 9 in. (sheet), 15 1/4 x 15 1/4 in. (frame).

Note: According to labels on the back of the frame, this work was originally attributed to Théodore Géricault and exhibited as such at the Kunstmuseum Winterthur in 1942 and 1953. Originally proposed as an early work by scholars Dubaut and Nathan, it has also been rejected by scholars on stylistic grounds. The most recent attribution has been to François Marius Granet, a student and follower of Jacques Louis David.

Exhibited: (as by Géricault) Winterthur Kunstmuseum, Winterthurer Privatbesitz, 1942, no. 348; Winterthur Kunstmuseum, Théodore Géricault, 1953, No. 127. 

Literature: P. Dubaut and P. Nathan, Géricault 1791-1824, Sammlung Hans E. Buhler, Winterthur, 1956., no. 31.
