Catalogue des peintures, sculptures, pastels, aquarelles, dessins et objets d'art
A catalogue of paintings, sculptures, pastels, watercolours, drawings and objets d'art held by the Musée des beaux-arts in Nantes, France, published in Paris by Braun, Clément et cie in 1903 for collectors and museum readers. Its plates reproduce oil paintings with French captions: a tournament scene with armoured riders, a monastic interior with figures in robes, a street or market crowd in period dress, and a woman in a flowing gown walking beside a stream. A designer might take the clear compositional groupings and costume detail of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century figure painting.
