Cent dessins de Watteau : gravés par Boucher
A late nineteenth-century Paris reproduction of one hundred drawings by the eighteenth-century painter Antoine Watteau, edited by critic Paul Mantz in 1892 for a general art-loving readership. The pictures are plain black-and-white line reproductions of single figures, mostly standing or seated, drawn with loose, quick strokes and empty backgrounds, which a designer could use for studies of gesture, costume and posture.
