Engraving of Louis Jean Marie de Bourbon, Duke of Penthièvre.

This is a lettered state of a portrait engraved by Etienne Fessard and Augustin Saint-Aubin. In this, it's original form, the portrait was enclosed within a rectangular border, but was later re-engraved within an oval design and published in the early 1800s. For what may be an intermediary false proof state see RCIN 615684. For the proof state see RCIN 615687. -
