Bibliothèque nationale (France). Cabinet des estampes, Hennin, M. (Michel), 1777-1863, Duplessis, Georges, 1834-1899 · 1878 · Paris, A. Picard · 1 picture

An 1878 Paris inventory by Georges Duplessis of the Bibliothèque nationale's collection of French history prints, bequeathed by Michel Hennin in 1863, published by A. Picard for scholars and print collectors. The single picture is a stipple-style engraved oval portrait of an older man with white hair and a dark cravat, set in a pale oval frame against a hatched ground, offering a designer a restrained model for formal period portraiture and oval vignette framing.
