Vergessene Bilder des Wallraf-Richartz-Museums / Otto H. Förster und Hans W. Hupp.
This 1928 German volume, published by Kölner Verlags-Anstalt in Cologne, catalogues forgotten paintings from the Wallraf-Richartz-Museum and was produced by Otto H. Förster and Hans W. Hupp for art historians and collectors. Its halftone plates show seventeenth-century style portraits of men in dark dress with white lace collars and cuffs, plus a half-length study of a woman with her head bowed. A designer might draw on their restrained tonal range, dark grounds and formal poses for period costume or muted portrait compositions.
