Choix de gravures à l'eau forte, d'après les peintures originales et les marbres de la galerie de Lucien Bonaparte
A French-language folio of etchings published in London in 1812 by G. Miller, reproducing paintings and marbles from Lucien Bonaparte's private art gallery for collectors and connoisseurs. The plates are printed on cream paper with captions in italic script beneath or beside each image. Designers can take from them the tonal range of fine etched line, with cross-hatching for shadow and soft contour for flesh and drapery, and the classical compositions of figures set in landscape.
