Charles Auguste, marquis de La Fare

Charles Auguste, marquis de La Fare, was a French artist born in 1644 and died in 1712. The image shows a book cover with a gold design on a red background. The design is an oval frame containing a crown and two birds with their heads facing each other. The overall style of the cover is characteristic of 17th century French binding, known for its use of intricate gold tooling and ornate designs. This book could be an example of La Fare's artistic work, although more information is needed to confirm.
