A variant of this painting (Art Page 65) exists, which some have attributed to VLB, though the artist only listed one portrait of Mdm Grand in 1783. VLB had erroneously listed a portrait of Mdm Grand in 1776, but at that time the sitter was still an unmarried girl, living in India. Reference Kimbell Exhibition Catalog Number 12 for more details.
