Verhandeling van de schilderkonst in miniatuur : om gemakkelyk te leeren schilderen zonder meester

Verly, P. J, Fokke, Simon, 1712-1784, Lobedanius, Arnoldus · 1744 · Te Utrecht : By Arnoldus Lobedanius ... · 5 pictures

A Dutch treatise of 1744 published in Utrecht by Arnoldus Lobedanius, teaching miniature painting to readers who wish to learn without a master. Its pictures show a printed floral ornament, a decorative cluster of stylised blossoms and leaves with fan-like fronds, and two hand-coloured plates of a colour wheel above a garden scene with a painter or a seated woman at an easel and pedestal, which a designer might take as a model for period palettes and framed vignette layouts.
