This is an 1892 Paris auction catalogue issued by the Hôtel Drouot and printed by Impr. de l'Art, listing old master paintings from the collection of the late Théophile Thoré-Bürger for buyers and dealers. The plates are photogravure reproductions of Dutch interiors, mostly by Vermeer, with women at instruments and quiet domestic still lifes. A designer can draw on their soft tonal shading, dark wood furniture, black and white checkerboard floors, and warm window light.
