Traité Élémentaire Et Pratique Du Dessin Et De La Peinture, A L'Usage Des Jeunes Artistes: Contenant des Observations sur les différentes manières de dessiner ; les règles de la composition, du clair obscur et du coloris ... ; Et Quatre Gravures Raisonnees
A drawing and painting manual by Lambert Libert, published in 1811 and drawn from the Heidelberg University Library collection, written for young artists learning draughtsmanship, composition, chiaroscuro and colour. Its four plates are etchings of bearded heads in profile and three-quarter view, a rustic house by trees, and a leafy branch, set out as teaching examples for studying form and tone.
