Honoré Fragonard : sa vie et son oeuvre
Honoré Fragonard: sa vie et son oeuvre is a late nineteenth-century French art monograph by Baron Roger Portalis, published in Paris in 1889 by J. Rothschild for collectors and art readers. Its plates reproduce paintings and drawings by the eighteenth-century painter Fragonard, and several appear rotated on the page. The pictures show loose sketchy compositions of figures in landscape, interiors and crowded genre scenes, with soft tonal shading and warm sepia or grey printing that a designer could draw on for rococo-style atmosphere and figure groupings.
