Inglorious Artists
  1. An etching depicting two figures, one wearing a wig characteristic of the "Habits à la Française" style. They are indoors, likely engaging in a transaction or discussion related to the art market or book selling, judging by the presence of a book or document handled by the wigged figure. The setting suggests an intimate yet formal engagement, and both figures are detailed in period outfits.
