Élémens de peinture pratique
Élémens de peinture pratique, a 1776 French treatise on painting technique by Roger de Piles, edited by Charles Antoine Jombert and digitised by Heidelberg University Library. Its plates are numbered engravings for students of painting. The pictures show palettes with thumb-hole and mixing-well layouts, a tall easel with a central ledge, a pedestal-style pigment dish, and a plaster or wax head study with a bound cylindrical object, giving designers clear, measured diagrams of studio tools and furniture.
