Galeries des antiques is a 1803 Paris collection of engraved plates of Greco-Roman statues, busts and reliefs, published by Augustin Legrand and Antoine-Augustin Renouard for the Muséum central des arts, drawn from works taken during the Army of Italy campaigns. The four pictures show standing draped figures in outline, including a woman holding a theatrical mask, a robed woman, and a male figure with a helmet and a tree-trunk support, rendered in fine pen and wash with clean contours a designer could use as classical figure references.
