La Tour : la vie et l'oeuvre de l'artiste.
The catalog emphasizes the skill and observational gifts of Maurice Quentin de La Tour (1704–1788), who renewed the art of portrait painting and the technique of pastel to offer an original panorama of the cosmopolitan society of the eighteenth century.
Subtitled "Catalogue critique par Georges Wildenstein: l'oeuvre de l'artiste en deux cent soixante-huit héliogravures." Preliminary materials includes an essay, notes with biographical information, a genealogical table, considerations on the artist's technique, and La Tour's iconography. There is a chronological table.
