An 1884 Paris auction catalogue from the Hôtel Drouot, listing old and modern paintings, miniatures, drawings and pastels from the collection of M.E. Vallet, curator of the Bordeaux museum, prepared for prospective bidders. The single plate is a sepia etched portrait of a woman in a ruffled eighteenth-century gown with a lace collar and piled hair, captioned with the Fragonard name, offering a designer a restrained period reference for portrait framing and tonal, engraved-style figure work.
