Die durch Theorie erfundene Practic, oder Gründlich-verfasste Reguln, derer man sich als einer Anleitung zu berühmter Künstlere Zeichen-Wercken bestens bedienen kan
A German drawing manual of 1763, edited by Johann Daniel and Johann Justin Preißler and issued from Nuremberg-area presses for students learning to draw from established masters. The four plates show idealised nude and draped figures in engraved outline, posed in clouds or against a balustrade. A designer could take from them the classical contour, the figure poses, and the way drapery falls around a body.
