Catalogue de tableaux originaux des bons maitres des trois ecoles, figures et bustes de marbre et de bronze, porcelaines et autres objets curieux qui composent le cabinet de M. L.C. de D.
This 1774 Paris sale catalogue, compiled by auctioneer and expert Jean-Baptiste-Pierre Le Brun and published by Pierre Remy, lists paintings by old masters, marble and bronze busts, porcelain and curiosities from the cabinet of Comte Jean-Baptiste Du Barry for prospective buyers. The one picture is an ornamental printed headpiece for the catalogue's title page, with a central urn or vessel flanked by symmetrical scrolling acanthus leaves, foliage and grotesque masks in black letterpress-style engraving. A designer could take from it a balanced, symmetrical eighteenth-century rococo-classical border pattern built from scrolls, leaves and a central motif.
