Livre de Portraiture d' Anib. Carrache
This is a 1650 French book of head studies after Annibale Carracci, published by François and Nicolas de Poilly and held by Heidelberg University Library, likely intended for artists learning to draw expressive heads. The engravings show young faces and heads in three-quarter and profile views, with finely hatched shading and curling hair that a designer could use as reference for Baroque-style character drawing or classical portrait linework.
