Vues des chateau, temples, jardins et parcs de Son Altesse le prince Alexandre Borissowitsch Kourakin, a Nadejedino
A 1795 album of engraved views of the château, temples, gardens and parks at Nadezhdino, commissioned by Prince Alexander Kurakin, published in Russia with French titles and captions. The engravings show classical garden buildings among tall trees, with figures on winding paths, and the pale later plates show how a sketched landscape is framed inside a cartouche. A designer could take the architectural garden staging, the cartouche-framed vignette layout and the restrained tonal shading.
