Catalogue de Tableaux, Dessins, Estampes, Livres a Figures, Planches gravées…composant le Cabinet et le Mobilier pittoresque de feu M. Swebach (5-7 April 1824 & subsequent days)
35 pp. 8vo, brown leather-backed marbled boards. Paris: 1824.
Scarce sale catalogue inventorying the collection of Swebach-Desfontaines (1769-1823), a talented painter and director of the imperial porcelain manufactory in Saint Petersburg for several years; WorldCat records no example in North American institutions. His choice collection, described across 268 lots, was well-regarded at the time. The contents of his studio and apartment were also offered at the auction. The catalogue opens with a useful biography of the artist and his prolific career.
A very good copy; foxing throughout.
