Traité complet de la peinture
Traité complet de la peinture is an 1829 Paris treatise on painting by Jacques Nicolas Paillot de Montabert, published by Hector Bossange père for artists and students. Its plates mix geometric perspective diagrams and shadow constructions, numbered engraved figure studies of drapery and poses, and a reclining nude engraving with a attendant, useful to a designer for classical figure arrangement, light falling across a body, and the logic of cast shadow.
