Le pitture antiche d'Ercolano e contorni: Busti
This is an 1767 engraved plate book of antique marble busts, part of the Le pitture antiche d'Ercolano series, published in Naples for antiquarians and artists studying classical sculpture. The engravings show single busts on plain pedestals against a pale ground, with labelled captions and shadowed hatching, useful for designers wanting restrained neoclassical sculptural references.
