Biblische Erzählungen für die Jugend : neues Testament
A 1774 German children's book of New Testament Bible stories by Johann Jakob Hess and Johann Caspar Lavater, published in Zurich for young readers. Its single picture is an oval vignette in a carved frame showing two women with veils at left and a winged angel at right, who rests one hand on a stone ledge beside a folded cloth. The engraving's fine parallel hatching and classical drapery offer a designer a model for neoclassical framed medallion compositions.
