Livre de Portraiture Receuilly des Oeuvres de Ioseph de Ribera dir l’Espagnolet
A 1729 French print collection of caricature heads and ear studies after Jusepe de Ribera, called l'Espagnolet, issued as a portraiture album from the Heidelberg University Library. The pictures are etched grotesque profiles of old men in caps and turbans, plus sheets of ears drawn in fine hatched lines. A designer might take from them the exaggerated profile silhouette and the tight, cross-hatched line shading used to model faces and ears.
