La précieuse collection de dessins de tous les plus grands maîtres
A late eighteenth-century Paris print collection issued by F. Basan in 1776, gathering etchings after the drawings of major old masters for artists and connoisseurs. The plates are rotated on the page and show livestock in pastoral landscapes, soldiers and a seated figure in a shallow interior, and a rocky harbour town with figures on a cliff, offering a designer loose, hatched-line studies of animals and terrain.
