Inventaire général des dessins du Musée du Louvre et du Musée de Versailles; école française
This is a 1907 catalogue of French drawings held by the Musée du Louvre and the Musée de Versailles, compiled by Jean Guiffrey, Pierre Marcel and René Huyghe for a Paris art public and scholars. The plates show grey-wash and pen sketches of architecture, stage-like interiors, equestrian scenes, portraits and landscapes, with decorative cartouche frames that a designer could use for studies of period ornament, theatrical staging and eighteenth-century French composition.
