Livre De Portraitvre
A 1641 print book of studies by Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, held by Heidelberg University Library, made as a model book for artists to copy. The pictures are plain engraved studies of heads, a bearded man with arms folded, a pair of heads, and an isolated draped arm and hand, drawn with fine parallel hatching that shows light falling across faces, curls, cloth folds and musculature, useful for a designer studying tonal modelling or classical figure drawing.
