Le Musée d'Orleans
Le Musée d'Orleans, a 1922 Paris art catalogue by Paul Vitry and the Musée des beaux-arts d'Orléans, published by H. Laurens. Its plates reproduce French paintings in halftone, with captions in French naming artists such as François Le Moyne and Louis David. The portraits show seated and half-length sitters in dark, muted grounds, with soft shading and loose brushwork a designer could study for tonal contrast and portrait framing.
