Histoire de l'art de l'antiquité
Michel Huber's 1781 French translation of Winckelmann's history of ancient art, printed in Leipzig by Breitkopf with plates after Adam Friedrich Oeser, for antiquarians and artists studying Greek and Roman sculpture. Line engravings copy reliefs, gems and statues: draped seated figures, processions with torch and thyrsus, nude male bodies framed in ovals; useful for classical figure outlines and cameo-style vignettes.
