Excellent guess ... especially as the legend says "La Sybille" ... Apparently, there is a contemporary French portrait of L'Égyptienne (specifications regarding armament as given by Wikipedia seem to differ from Boudriot's), attributed to "Jean-Jacques Baugean". But who is Jean-Jacques Baugean? I only know of Jean-Jérôme Baugean, and from him of nothing from before the 1er Premier Empire and the Restauration era ...: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_frigate_%C3%89gyptienne_(1799) Edited July 10, 2019 by Wagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
