Note 170 — LECTURE X. FRENCH ART IN THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY.

O. W. (Orlando Williams) Wight translation

The Museum of the Louvre possesses only a very small number of Sarazin's works, and those of very little importance:—a bust of Pierre Séguier, strikingly true, two statuettes full of grace, and the small funeral monument of Hennequin, Abbé of Bernay, member of Parliament, who died in 1651, which is a chef-d'œuvre of elegance.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
