Recto: l. l.: (just beneath image, all text in French) Peint par Michel Ange dit Caravage. ; l. r.: (just beneath image) Gravé par Mondet. ; bottom center: LE FLUTEUR. / De la Galerie du Palais d'Orléans. / ÉCOLE DE LOMBARDIE. / III.ME TABLEAU DE MICHEL-ANGE AMERIGI / SURNOMMÉ LE CARAVAGE / Peint sur Toile, ayant de hauteur 2 Pieds 4 Pouces, sur 1 Pied 11 Pouces de large / Cette figure de jeune homme, qu'on peut considerer comme une des plus savantes productions du Caravage, réunit à / l'étonnante vérité du coloris et au moëlleux du Pinceau, une grande intelligence du clair-obscure et toutes les autres / perfections qui caracterisent ce grand peintre. / Dans le grand nombre de Peintres qui ont suivi la maniere du Caravage, on distingue Manfréde, le / Valentin et le Guerchin. Le Guide lui même a cherché à l'imiter, quoique la route dans la quelle il avoit mar- / ché jusque-là, fut bien opposée à celle que tenoit le Caravage. Le Dominicain fut aussi tenté de la suivre; mais le goût / du Dessin qui s'y trouve attaché, et le choix de sa Lumiere, toujours le même dans toutes sortes de Sujets, l'en a detourné. ; l. r.: (in pencil) Caravaggio - 1569-1609 [and] 15 ; verso: l. l.: (in pencil) C575/582 (inscription)
