Adélaïde Labille-Guiard (1749-1803)
This 1902 Paris monograph by the baron Roger Portalis surveys the portraits of the French painter Adélaïde Labille-Guiard (1749-1803), with reproductions printed in halftone for a art-historical readership. The four pictures show eighteenth-century women sitters in powdered hair, lace, and silk gowns, some in oval frames and one standing beside a silhouette portrait, offering a designer a catalogue of Louis XVI-era costume and hairstyle silhouettes.
