Collection stamp: BULLINGER. Estampes.
Marque non identifiée que nous croyons lire Bullinger, rencontrée sur une estampe de Jacob Neefs d'après Jacob Jordaens qui porte également la marque de Naudet, L.1937 (Fondation Custodia, Collection Frits Lugt, inv. 2012-P.35), et sur une estampe de Johanna Sibylla Küssel (1650-1717) [Hollstein 182].Il est possible qu'il s'agisse de l'artiste suisse Johann Balthasar Bullinger l'Ancien (1713-1793) ou bien de son petit-fils Johann Balthasar Bullinger le Jeune (1777-1844). Les deux artistes étaient également collectionneurs.
