L'arte moderna in Italia : studi, biografie e schizzi
An 1883 Italian art book published in Milan by F. Treves, written by Maria Embden-Heine, princess della Rocca, offering studies, biographies and sketches of modern Italian artists. The four pictures are loose pen-and-ink portraits of painters, with one standing figure in a dark coat and light background, drawn in quick hatched strokes. A designer could draw on their economical ink hatching and loose, sketch-like portrait structure for expressive character studies.
