Exposition de cent pastels du XVIIIe siècle par Latour, Perronneau, Nattier ... et de bustes par Houdon, Pajou, Caffieri, Coustou
This is a 1908 Paris exhibition catalogue from the Galerie Georges Petit, listing one hundred eighteenth-century French pastels by artists such as Latour, Perronneau and Nattier, along with busts by Houdon, Pajou, Caffieri and Coustou, lent by the Marquise de Ganay. The frontispiece shows a half-length portrait of a smiling man in a cap and dark coat, pointing, above the gallery's title block, while the second picture is a dark band of stylised foliage and scrolling leaves that a designer could adapt as a decorative border.
