Ex-Libris pour "L'Ensorcelée" (Bookplate for "L'Ensorcelée")

Félix-Hilaire Buhot

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of an ornate bookplate. It features an intricately designed archway or door with decorative elements such as statues on either side and an angelic figure at the top. In the center, there is a framed area with text inscribed on it, which says "Ex Libris." Surrounding this centerpiece are detailed depictions of foliage, a swan, and floral motifs. The drawing uses shading and cross-hatching to add depth and texture to the composition.
