A 1660 Latin catalogue of paintings from the Brussels collection of Archduke Leopold Wilhelm, published in Brussels and Antwerp and assembled by painter David Teniers the Younger with engravers working after his drawings for scholars and collectors. The pictures are fine etchings and engravings after Italian originals, showing religious and mythological scenes with figures in landscapes and interiors, often with rendered drapery and tonal shading a designer could study for classical composition and cross-hatched line work.
