Does anyone know what portrait this drawing is based on? From what I
can determine, Leloir's costume books came out in the mid 1800's.
I'd like to see some of his sources, including the ones for this image:

I suspect these are redrawn from a series of fashion plates which
were published in France in the late 17th century. I have copies of
others in a similar style. The artist Bonnart springs to mind, but I
don't guarantee anything, as I am currently having a "hot flush"
(English version) and am as a consequence in the "brainsaremush" state.
