Catalogue illustré des ouvrages de peinture, sculpture et gravure
This is a French-language illustrated catalogue of paintings, sculpture and prints published in Paris in 1890 by A. Lemercier et Cie for the Société nationale des beaux-arts, a Salon exhibition society, serving art buyers and critics. Its plates reproduce paintings as monochrome halftones: a triptych-like portrait group with a woman in a long gown, a seated woman in a pale dress, and two landscapes, one a canal with boats and one a figure in white beneath trees, useful for period portrait poses and soft tonal landscape composition.
