Suite d'estampes is a set of French engravings published in Paris by Prault in 1782, drawing on Jacques Guay's oval-framed works and cameo-style portraits and figures, and linked to Madame de Pompadour. The pictures are small monochrome oval plates with fine engraved hatching, showing putti in classical poses and a Roman-style head in profile, offering a designer models for cameo frames, vignettes, and neoclassical ornament.
