Notice de la collection royale de tableaux de maitres vivants au Pavillon à Harlem

Pavilloen te Haarlem · 1800 · La Haye : A. H. Bakhuyzen · 2 pictures

A late eighteenth-century French-language catalogue from The Hague, published by A. H. Bakhuyzen in 1800, listing the royal collection of paintings by living masters housed at the Pavilion in Haarlem. The first picture is a woodcut-style vignette of a seated satyr-like figure with a lyre, an easel bearing a painting, and a skull, and the second is an engraved view of a large classical palace with a curved forecourt, rotated on the page. A designer could take the crisp hatched line of the vignette and the formal architectural framing of the plate.
