Recueil D'Antiquités, Egyptiennes, Etrusques, Grecques Et Romaines: Supplement
Supplement volume to Caylus's Recueil d'antiquités, a multi-volume 1767 collection of Egyptian, Etruscan, Greek and Roman antiquities compiled by the French antiquarian Anne Claude Philippe de Caylus for scholars and collectors. The plates are numbered engraved pages of sculpture fragments, statuettes and reliefs, drawn in fine line with cross-hatched shading. A designer could take from them the classical figure poses, drapery folds and carved stone textures of ancient sculpture.
