Lectures on painting : delivered at the Royal Academy
Lectures on Painting, delivered at the Royal Academy by the Swiss-born painter Henry Fuseli, published in London in 1820 by Cadell and Davies with Blackwood of Edinburgh, aimed at students and practising artists of the period. The single picture is an oval engraved vignette of a seated, cross-legged female figure wrapped in loose drapery with her arms folded, set in a shaded oval with a partly visible inscription above her head, a classical allegorical study a designer could use for contemplative pose, drapery folds, and oval framing.
