content: Thirteenth plate from a series of prints depicting the ornament and interiors of the King’s apartment at the Royal palaces of the Louvre and the Tuileries, part of the Cabinet du Roi (King’s Cabinet) series published by the Imprimerie Royale. The plate illustrates a door and the view of the enfilade from the door from the Grand Apartment of the Tuileries Palace. The doorframe is decorated with running patters, and friezes ornamented with grotesque and arabesque motifs, palm leaves, foliage, acanthus leaves, strapwork, cartouches, interlaced L’s, herms, and rosettes. The overdoor in the form of a broken pediment features a large, lidded vase with a French Royal crown shaped lid, and lion-handles. The vase is flanked by laurel leaf garlands with grotesque ornament and a checkered background. Four subsequent doorframes and doors are visible as part of the enfilade of rooms that make up the King’s apartment. The plate is titled, signed, and numbered.
