Recueil de desseins gravés d'après les fameux maitres : tirés de la collection de l'Academie Electorale Palatine des beaux Arts à Düsseldorff
A 1780 portfolio of engraved reproductions after drawings by famous European masters, printed in Düsseldorf and drawn from the Electoral Palatine Academy of Fine Arts collection for art students and connoisseurs. The plates are pen-and-ink style etchings of figures, cherubs and crowded scenes, many in loose hatched lines, showing how old master drawing was copied and how compositions were built with overlapping groups and strong diagonals.
