Monumens inédits de l'antiquité : statues, peintures antiques, pierres gravées, bas-reliefs de marbre et de terre cuite

Winckelmann, Johann Joachim, 1717-1768, David, François-Anne, 1741-1824, Sibire, Mlle · 1808 · A Paris : Chez L. Paravicin · 37 pictures

A Paris engraved catalogue of ancient art from 1808, assembling Winckelmann's unpublished monuments of antiquity (statues, painted vases, carved gems and reliefs) and edited by François-Anne David for a learned audience of collectors and scholars. The plates show antique figures in flat profile with draped robes and winged or armed attendants, drawn in sepia and warm-toned outline, offering a designer a reference for classical figure poses, drapery folds and neoclassical decorative framing.
