Collections de têtes d'expressions représentant les différentes passions de l'ame : dessinées d'après les tableaux du Musée central des arts de Paris / par Jph. et Ane. Sauvage dit Lemire dédiées au citoyen Chaptel, ministère de l'Interior par J.J.F. Tassaert
A French physiognomy album of 1803 published in Paris by the engraver J.J.F. Tassaert, dedicated to a citizen of the Ministry of the Interior, reproducing heads drawn by Joseph Sauvage after paintings in the Musée central des arts. The plates are engraved studies of heads in profile and three-quarter view, each showing a single emotion through the set of the brow, eyes and mouth. A designer could draw on their tight stipple shading and the way turbans, headscarves and loose hair frame the face to convey feeling.
