OGCMA0797OrpheusEurydice_Kauffman OGCMA0789OrpheusEurydice_Kauffmann

I lined your reference out for a couple of reasons. 1) Kauffmann’s item is found on page 789 (not “797” of the OGCMA); and 2) you misspelled Kauffmann’s surname. (I corrected it in the item ID below.)

Angelica Kauffmann, “Orpheus and Eurydice,” painting. Before 1782. [Location?]

On the unwieldy URL below: Though I appreciate your search, the research must go farther. I say this for several reasons.

  1. The URL points to a google search, not specifically at the object in question.
    I would much rather have a direct link to http://www.intaglio-fine-art.com/prints/mythological-prints.html
    However,
  2. The website “Intaglio Fine Art” is not especially authoritative. It is a .com site that is hoping to sell us reprints of works they’ve found in old books.
    Case in point: The image you’ve shown is not actually an image of Kauffmann’s, but (apparently) Thomas Burk’s engraving after a picture by Kauffmann.
    I’m put off by the image next to the Burk-Kauffmann “Orpheus and Eurydice”, “Jupiter and Calista”. Burk might have thought of it as “Calista”, but the mythological nymph’s name was Callisto. Indeed, Kauffmann called her painting “Jupiter and Callisto.” Burk gaffed.
  3. The “Intaglio Fine Art” website does do the scientific thing and cite “Ref K 002” for their reproduction of the Burk engraving. That must refer to an index of Kauffmann paintings. It might be a reference to the “Manner & Williamson” that Reid notes. (see below)

You did not unpack the cross-reference that Reid provided: “Manners & Williamson 1924, pl. 11”

That equals

Lady Victoria Manners and Dr. G. C. Williamson, Angelica Kauffmann, R.A.: Her Life and Works (New York: Hacker, 1924), pl. 11.

I bumped this to the bottom, so that you are assured of getting due credit. However, the real information is the documentation above.
