Die Zeichen- und Mahlerschule oder systematische Anleitung zu den Zeichen-, Mahler-, Kupferstecher-, Bildhauer- und andern verwandten Künsten: zum privat und öffentlichen Gebrauch auf Schulen
A German drawing and painting instruction manual by Christian Ludolph Reinhold, published in 1786 and intended for use in schools and private study. Its plates are etched and engraved studies of heads, landscapes and figures, showing how to build up hatching, shadow and contour. A designer can take from them a clear model for line-based shading, with strong cross-hatching on beards and hair and simple architectural and tree backgrounds.
