Description des tableaux
Description des tableaux is an 1879 Amsterdam catalogue of paintings in the Museum van der Hoop, compiled from the collection of Adriaan van der Hoop and printed in French for collectors and scholars. The four pictures show painters' signatures in flowing script, such as Ruisdael, Berchem, and Jan van Huysum, dated 1656 in one case, offering designers examples of calligraphic signature lettering with looping capitals and swashes.
