Tablettes d'un amateur des arts : contenant la gravure au trait des principaux ouvrages de peinture et de sculpture qui se trouvent en Allemagne, avec leur description
A series of outline engravings reproducing paintings and sculptures held in German collections, published in Berlin in 1803 by the Chevalier de St. Paterne for art lovers and collectors. The plates are fine line engravings of figure groups, several shown sideways on the page, with the faithful contour drawing style of early nineteenth century reproductive prints; a designer might borrow the economy of single weight contour lines, the crowded composition of figures around a central action, and the classical drapery folds.
