Zur methodik und psychologie des gemäldebestimmens ..
A 1905 German study by art historian Theodor von Frimmel, published in Munich by Müller, on method and psychology in attributing paintings, aimed at scholars and connoisseurs. Its photographic plates reproduce portraits of men and a boy in dark dress against plain grounds, shot in halftone with soft, tonal modelling; a designer might take from them the sober, dim palette of old-master portraiture and the way single heads fill a frame.
