Deutsche Künstler-Gallerie
Deutsche Künstler-Gallerie is a German collection of portrait prints of artists, published in 1813 and drawn by Max Franck. The four pictures are head-and-shoulder lithographic portraits of 17th-century men with long curled wigs or hair, white collars and dark cloaks, set in plain oval vignettes on cream paper. A designer could take from them a consistent format for period portrait busts, with soft crosshatched shading and a restrained, uniform framing.
