Dissertation sur les statues appartenantes a la fable de Niobé
A dissertation by Angelo Fabroni, printed in Florence in 1779, examining the marble statues of the Niobe myth held in the Uffizi, written for scholars and collectors of classical sculpture. The engravings show single figures of ancient statues on plinths, drawn in fine line with careful shading that traces muscle, drapery folds and stone surfaces, a model for studying figure poses, draped cloth and classical anatomy.
