Recueil d'estampes d'apres les plus celebres tableaux de la Galerie Royale de Dresde : contenant cinquante pieces avec une description de chaque tableau en françois et en italien
A French and Italian engraved folio of fifty plates after celebrated paintings in the Royal Gallery of Dresden, published in Dresden in 1753 by Chrêtien Henri Hagenmüller and engraved largely by Noël Le Mire, Charles Eisen and Charles Hutin for collectors and connoisseurs. The plates are fine black-and-white engravings reproducing Baroque and classical figure compositions, with biblical, mythological and historical scenes, crowded group arrangements and draped figures in theatrical gestures, useful to a designer studying old-master composition, tonal contrast and how groups are staged around a central action.
