Recueil d'estampes gravées d'après les tableaux du cabinet de Monseigneur le duc de Choiseul

1771 · A Paris : Chez l'Auteur · 16 pictures

A 1771 Paris collection of prints engraved after paintings in the cabinet of the Duc de Choiseul, published by the author and kept at the Getty Research Institute. The plates are etchings of Old Master style scenes, each printed on a separate white leaf with its caption beneath, and several pictures are rotated on the page. A designer could draw on their loose tree-framed landscapes, rustic figure groups and pastoral compositions for atmospheric, classical-style scene design.
