Catalogue des tableaux, pastels, dessins, miniatures, sculptures, objets d'art : de la galerie de M. Arsène Houssaye
An 1896 Paris auction catalogue from the Hôtel Drouot, listing paintings, pastels, drawings, miniatures, sculptures and decorative objects from the gallery of Arsène Houssaye, held at the Getty Research Institute. The three pictures are ornamental cartouche headpieces in a Rococo style, with scrolling acanthus, foliage and framed central figures. They offer a designer ready-made models for decorative panels, title frames and border motifs built from symmetrical C-scrolls.
