Lectures on painting and design ..
Lectures on Painting and Design is an 1844 London treatise by painter Benjamin Robert Haydon, with David Wilkie credited, written for art students and practising painters. Its plates are plain line drawings of skeletons set against pale, foxed paper, one of a human figure and one of a bird-like animal in a similar upright pose. A designer might take from them the value of skeletal structure as a basis for figure drawing and a precise, economical pen-and-ink style.
