The practice of oil painting : and of drawing as associated with it / by Solomon J. Solomon.
A 1919 London instruction manual on oil painting and figure drawing by painter Solomon J. Solomon, written for art students and practising painters. Its plates reproduce Renaissance and Mannerist paintings beside pencil studies of models, showing how old masters handled the nude and the head. A designer could take from them the classical composition of figures in dark, dramatic fields and the soft tonal shading of graphite portraits.
