Kritische Studien über das Venezianische Skizzenbuch
A critical study of a Venetian sketchbook, written in German by Alexander Amersdorffer and published in Berlin by Mayer & Müller in 1901, drawing on the Venice Accademia di belle arti collection and focused on Pintoricchio and Raphael. The plates reproduce pen and ink studies of figures, seated groups and a standing nude man with a sheep-like animal, showing how Renaissance artists worked out poses, drapery folds and figure gestures in loose preparatory drawings that a designer could study for gesture and fall of cloth.
