Inventaire général des dessins du Musée du Louvre et du Musée de Versailles; école française
This 1907 inventory, published in Paris by the Librairie centrale d'art et d'architecture and compiled by Musée du Louvre staff with Jean Guiffrey, Pierre Marcel and René Huyghe, catalogues French drawings held at the Louvre and Versailles for scholars and collectors. The plates are small grey halftone reproductions of eighteenth-century French sketches: religious scenes, mythological groups, portrait heads and architectural studies, with pencil and wash tonal shading a designer could use for composition and figure poses.
