Résumé
A painting signed by Pierre Brébiette. The Service de Restauration of the Museums of France undertook, in 1993, the restoration of several paintings for an exhibit devoted to the work of Claude Vignon. Among these paintings was the Abduction of Proserpine by Pluto, which attracted the attention of one restorer because of stylistic differences with the other paintings. After the surface of the painting was cleaned, the signature of Pierre Brébiette, until then invisible, was discovered, identifying him as the unquestioned author of this work. This is the first known, signed painting by this artist, who, until recently, has been known solely as a drawer and engraver. Further, certain comparisons may be made between the script of the graphic works of Brébiette and this painting, the technical character of which would situate it in the early years of the 17th century.
