Abbildungen der Gemälde und Alterthümer : welche seit 1738, sowohl in der verschütteten Stadt Herkulanum, als auch in den umliegenden Gegenden an das Licht gebracht worden

Kilian, Georg Christoph, 1709-1781 · 1793 · Augsburg : Im Verlag bei Christoph Friedrich Bürglens Buch- und Kunsthandlung · 22 pictures

Published in Augsburg in 1793 by Georg Christoph Kilian, this German-language volume reproduces paintings and antiquities unearthed at Herculaneum and nearby sites since 1738, for scholars and collectors of classical art. The four pictures show faint engraved and pencil-outlined plates: a landscape with a coastline, a standing draped figure, a frieze of small framed scenes, and a bordered panel with two seated or kneeling figures, offering designers examples of classical drapery, narrative frieze layout and antique ornamental framing.
