Serie Di Ritratti Di Celebri Pittori Dipinti Di Propria Mano
A set of engraved portrait busts from 1765 in Italian, titled Serie di ritratti di celebri pittori dipinti di propria mano (series of portraits of famous painters, painted by their own hand), edited by Antonio Pazzi and Orazio Marrini and held by Heidelberg University Library. The sitters are shown as self-portraits in periwigs, loose cloaks and white collars, with the painter's palette and brushes sometimes included; the fine crosshatched line and soft oval vignettes offer a model for restrained, dignified 18th-century portrait engraving.
