content: Decoration of the ceiling of the bedroom of the princess de Rohan in the Hôtel de Soubise, currently a part of the French National Archives. The square ceiling has in its center a rocaille fleuron. The cornice is similarly ornamented with c-scrolls and s-scrolls. In the corners, and in the center of the edges, are cartouches with mythological scenes within, and carved mythological figures on top. The plate is numbered, but not signed. Comparative versions of this plate were signed with Pierre Edme Babel as the engraver.
