Samling af aegyptiske og romerske oldsager
A 1786 Danish collection of Egyptian and Roman antiquities compiled by Johannes Wiedewelt and printed at Copenhagen by court printer Nicolaus Möller, presenting ancient sculpture for scholars and collectors. Its plates show small figures of gods and royal statues, drawn in fine outline with plain grey shading on white paper, offering a designer clean, sober models of classical hieratic posture and headdress, with pale, uncoloured forms that read well as simple silhouettes.
