Cours complet de peinture a l'huile : l'art, la science, le metier du peintre
A French painting manual by Ernest Hareux, published in Paris by Librairie Renouard in 1900, meant for students learning oil painting as both art and craft. Its illustrations are monochrome plates of a recumbent cow, a rowing boat, a sailing boat on calm water, and a rotated landscape with a distant sail, drawn with loose, tonal strokes that show how a painter might handle light on water, shadow in grass, and simple recession in a seascape.
