Prières de la Messe
A Prières de la Messe, a French devotional prayer book for Mass, produced around 1720 with hand-painted miniatures framed in gilt borders, held by the J. Paul Getty Museum. Its pictures are small painted scenes set in ornate gold-and-blue cartouches, one showing the Crucifixion with ladder and crowd, one a rocky landscape with figures, and one a dinner table scene above Canon text in red and black capitals, offering a designer rococo framing, gilt scrollwork and calligraphic letterspacing to study.
