A description of the sketch-book by Sir Anthony Van Dyck, used by him in Italy, 1621-1627 : and preserved in the collection of the Duke of Devonshire, K. G. at Chatsworth
A 1902 London catalogue by Lionel Cust, published by G. Bell, describing Anthony van Dyck's Italian sketch-book of 1621-1627, held at Chatsworth for the Duke of Devonshire. The pictures are photographic reproductions of loose pen and wash studies of figures, heads and draped bodies, often overlapping on a single page. A designer might take from them quick gestural figure drawing, groups of studied heads, and the loose linework of Baroque sketching.
