Über Copien einer Frauenstatue aus der Zeit des Phidias
A late nineteenth-century German scholarly monograph by Reinhard Kekulé, published in Berlin by G. Reimer in 1897, written for archaeologists and art historians studying Greek sculpture. Its plates show Greek marble statues of draped women, photographed in full length, three-quarter views, and close-up details of heads and veils. A designer could take the strict vertical format, the heavy drapery folds falling in parallel pleats, and the austere, unpainted white stone that suggests classical restraint.
