## Commentary

The paintings by Durameau are sometimes confused with those of Fragonard. This signed and dated drawing also may be compared to portraits by Fragonard. Joseph Pellerin \(1684-1782\) was the Intendant-General of the French Navy, first Commissioner of the Navy as well as a celebrated numismatic pioneer.
