Mourning figures around the tomb of François de Pâris, print, book illustration, France, publisher: Libraires de la Compagnie, Utrecht, 1737, printmaker, paper, engraving, etching, height 232 mm x width 305mm, A detailed monochrome engraving shows a crowded interior with many people gathered around a central table where a body lies covered by drapery, several figures kneel and lean over the table while others stand nearby in long coats and robes; architectural arches and windows form the background with spectators peering from elevated openings; groups of men and women display varied postures and gestures, some holding books or papers, one figure holds a staff, another appears to write while a man with long hair and a cloak stands with his back partly turned, and a dog is visible near the table; the scene is rendered with fine crosshatching and detailed textures on clothing, hair, and the stone floor.
