P. Corneille

Pierre Corneille. This is an even more academic representation of Corneille, from the mid-eighteenth-century, drawn and engraved by Augustin St. Aubin, based on the mid eighteenth-century bust of the author by Jean-Jacques Caffieri. It is reproduced here from Oeuvres de P Corneille (Paris: Renouard, 1817) t. I [Library of Congress, Division of Special Collections, Rosenwald Collection (#1889)].
