Œuvres diverses de M. Cochin, secretaire de l'Académie Royale de peinture et sculpture, ou, Recueil de quelques pieces concernant les arts

Cochin, Charles Nicolas, 1715-1790, Cellot, Louis, 1731-1815, Jombert, Charles-Antoine, 1712-1784 · 1771 · A Paris : Chez Ch. Ant. Jombert pere, rue Dauphine, à l'Image Notre-Dame · 11 pictures

Charles Nicolas Cochin's 1771 Paris miscellany on the arts, published by Charles-Antoine Jombert, collects his essays and pieces on painting and sculpture for readers of the Académie Royale circle. Its small engraved vignettes show a figure drawing amid classical ruins, a writer with a quill beside a radiant burst of light, and stylised sprigs of flowers and fruit set into the printed text, offering designers compact models of tailpiece-style ornament and scholarly figure work.
