Les sympathies;
A physiognomy volume published in Paris in 1813 by Saintin and attributed to Mme. G****** from an old catalogue record, aimed at readers interested in judging character from facial features. The pictures are small engraved head-and-shoulders portraits of young men with curled hair, shown in profile and three-quarter views against a warm tan paper ground; a designer could draw on their fine stipple and hatching for period portrait treatments and Regency-style dress.
