Nice and large engraving by Etienne Charpentier (1705- 1764). It shows a view of the interior decoration of the gallery of the Hotel Villars. There are also some more technical elements in the lower part of the engraving. It is numbered 5.7. This interior is in a Louis XV rocailles system, recognisable by the multitude of curves and the numerous floral and shell motifs. It was inspired by the engraving made by David Blondel, the king's engraver.
