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