Dessins et tableaux de la renaissance italienne dans les collections de Suède
A 1902 Stockholm catalogue by art historian Osvald Sirén with the Nationalmuseum, Sweden, reproducing Italian Renaissance drawings and paintings held in Swedish collections for scholars and connoisseurs. The plates are halftone reproductions of pen, ink and chalk studies showing draped standing figures, saints and apostles, and a crowded group composition. A designer can take from them the loose gesture of drapery folds, the economy of hatching, and the poses of figures seen from the front and side.
