Philippe Ledoux was superb artist and did some wonderful book illustrations as well as designing some of the most popular scarves for Hermes.  His characterisation, eye for historical detail, and handling of perspective and three dimensional view is staggering. Ships and horses were often his subjects but people his speciality.  You will have seen some of his designs in my other guides,  La Promenade de Longchamps  being a long term favourite with the fakers. Here are a few detailed closeups from some of his works that have not been faked to date.  I am sorry that Ebay do not give us enough space to show you  them in high resolution but I hope that you get a taste of his skill.
