P.-P. Prudhon : huit reproductions facsimilé en couleurs
A 1913 Paris portfolio of eight colour facsimiles of paintings by Pierre-Paul Prud'hon (1758-1823), published by Pierre Lafitte et cie as a survey of his work. The plates are reproduced on cream paper with a white margin, showing mythological, allegorical and portrait subjects. A designer might take from them the soft, smoky chiaroscuro and warm flesh tones of French Neoclassical painting, with dark wooded grounds set against glowing draperies.
