The work of Antoine Watteau reproduced in one hundred and eighty-two illustrations, with a biographical introduction
A 1913 New York art book from Brentano's reproducing the paintings of the French Rococo painter Antoine Watteau (1684-1721), with a biographical introduction for an English-speaking audience. Its plates are halftone photographs of oil paintings, mostly dark, pastoral or courtly scenes with figures in landscapes, shown on pages captioned in German, English and French; a designer might take their theatrical lighting, soft figure groupings and dappled foliage as compositional reference.
