He also worked for the print publisher Jean Mariette, whose shop was located on rue Saint Jacques ("aux colonnes d'Hercule"), providing him with models of devotional images, pastoral and fashion images.As Pascale Cugy has shown (see bibliography), this painting is the modello of an engraving published at the beginning of the eighteenth century, entitled Le Goust (and thus part of a series of meanings - the modello of L'Ouïe is also known).The engraving is as it should be in the opposite direction, proof that our painting is not a copy. The engraver has added elements of landscape that are absent from our painting, and we also notice a variation in the stool, almost invisible in the engraving.
