A Latin letter printed in Rome in 1716 by Antonio de Rebeis, written by Theodor Verkruys and Antonio de Rossi, describing a reception held at the Villa Pinciana of the Borghese princes for a count. Its engravings reproduce Roman statues in the Borghese collection, each shown alone on a plain ground with its pedestal, with some scenes set in landscape. A designer could take from them the classical stance, drapery and musculature of ancient sculpture as posed figures.
