Abstract (en)

Discusses a print depicting a quack doctor, bearing the inscription Le Bassin, which was made from a portrait print of the bishop of Le Mans, Beaumanoir de Lavardin, by Nanteuil. The original portrait was engraved in 1660; second state of 1666 was altered and the satirical print was probably produced in the 1670s after Nanteuil's death. Outlines the political and religious context in which the anonymous adjustment to the portrait was made.
