Set against a background of French Rococo and Neoclassical masterpieces of paintings, furniture, and decorative arts in the Museum's Wrightsman Galleries, these charming images reveal how French style in fashon and interiors was not only meant to be beautiful, but also to attract, arouse and seduce the viewer."--The Metropolitan Museum of Art web site.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 391.00744 Ko Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Oversize 391.00744 Koda Checked In Add Copy to MyList
