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 �Itaglio
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 though 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.

Finally: I resaved your file under
the requested filename: 0789OrpheusEurydice_Kauffmann.htm
Will you please rework the other 9
items to conform to these changes?
