Anweisung zu der Practic oder Handlung der allgemeinen Mahler-Kunst: worinnen nebenst derselben Fürtreffligkeit und Nutzen kürtzlich angezeiget wird, was einer zum gründlichen Verstand der Mahler-Kunst wissen muß und wie man seine Übung darinnen, ein vollkommener Meister zu werden, anstellen soll
This 1678 German treatise by Willem Goeree, translated and edited by Johann Lange, instructs students in the general art of painting, including its practice and the training needed to become a master. The pictures are small black-and-white woodcut ornaments, a face drawn with construction lines showing proportions, and a page with two profile heads labelled A and B, which a designer could use for ornament borders and for studies of facial proportion.
