Livre de Tables is a 1702 ink by Pierre Lepautre, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a row of ornate silver tableware displayed on a fancy shelf. There are pitchers, cups, and bowls with handles shaped like animals or swirls. The shelf has carved decorations, including a face in the center and scrollwork along the top. The text at the bottom hints this was made for a royal collection, showing off luxury items. The style looks very detailed and fancy, typical of its time. If you like this kind of fancy design, look up etching to see how artists create these precise lines.
