Le Colère mêlée de crainte, from "Caractères des passions, gravés sur

Three etched heads in profile and three-quarter view show escalating emotion, from the open-mouthed rage at left to the center's wary, grimacing face and the wild-haired despair at right. Fine hatched lines model the features, and the plate's inscriptions name each passion below the heads.

Look closer: Plate number 13 is printed in the bottom-right corner.
