What the record supports
The Metropolitan Museum of Art holds an etching titled "Cavalry Charge" by Francesco Casanova.

It was acquired by the museum in 1970 through the Harris Brisbane Dick Fund and is classified under Prints in the Drawings and Prints department.
According to the supplied artist authority record, Francesco Casanova is identified as an Italian publisher and bookseller (1841–1927). This biographical information is incongruent with the 18th-century date of the artwork. The artist's nationality, birth year, death year, and occupation are provided in the authority record, but specific details such as QID, VIAF, ULAN, and Wikipedia URL are either present or null.
