Catalogue des peintures, aquarelles, dessins, gravures, dépendant de la succession de M. Théodore Duret : et dont la vente après décès aura lieu Hôtel Drouot, salle no 10, le jeudi 1er mars 1928 ... / commissaire-priseur, Me Lair Dubreuil ; experts, MM. Bernheim-jeune, MM. Durand-Ruel.
This is an auction sale catalogue printed in Paris in 1928 by the commissaire-priseur Me Lair Dubreuil for the Hôtel Drouot, listing the estate of the collector Théodore Duret for sale after his death. Its plates reproduce paintings, watercolours and drawings, and a designer can take from them the loose, tonal handling of late nineteenth-century French artists: soft crowd masses, sketched tree-lined roads, a seated reader in a garden, and dancers rendered in charcoal with a few confident strokes.
