Catalogue des tableaux, dessins, &c. &c. qui composent le cabinet de M. W. : contenant un choix des meilleurs maîtres italiens, flamands, allemands & françois
This 1784 Paris auction catalogue, compiled by François Basan for the sale of Johann Georg Wille's collection of paintings and drawings by Italian, Flemish, German and French masters, was printed by Louis-François Prault for collectors and dealers. The two pictures are small printed decorations: a circular interlace ornament in a black ring and an oval vignette of a studio interior with a seated draughtsman, an easel and a standing figure among objects. A designer could take from them the tidy, engraved vignette style of late eighteenth-century French book ornament.
