ROUQUET. The State of the Arts in England. Paris, Ch. Ant. Jombert, 1755, in-12, (10)-211-1 blank p., full contemporary brown calf, decorated spine (binding heavily restored). First edition. This work, dedicated to the Marquis de Marigny, contains interesting information on public sales and in general on the art market in the eighteenth century. Rouquet was an enamel painter and had exhibited in 1757 a portrait of the Marquis de Marigny. To mock Diderot, author in 1755 of an essay on wax painting, he published the same year L'art nouveau de la peinture en fromage ou en ramequin. Decorated at the head of the dedication with a charming allegorical vignette, with the arms of the Marquis de Marigny, engraved by Cochin. Identified by a handwritten note.
