Illustrazione di una greca scultura posseduta in Venezia dalla signora contessa Marina Donà Grimani

Visconti, Ennio Quirino, 1751-1818. Opere varie italiane e francesi · 1829 · [Milano] : Co' torchi della Società tipogr. de' classici italiani · 1 picture

A plate from Ennio Quirino Visconti's miscellaneous Italian and French works, printed in Milan in 1829, illustrating a Greek marble head owned by Countess Marina Donà Grimani in Venice and aimed at scholars and collectors of antiquities. The line drawing shows a female head in three-quarter view with the hair swept back into looping curls and a bound knot, rendered with fine, even contour strokes and little shading, a model for classical portrait drawing, hair studies, or restrained neoclassical line work.
