The miniature painter's manual containing progressive lessons on the art of drawing and painting likenesses from life on card-board, vellum, and ivory, with concise remarks on the delineation of character and caricature
A practical drawing manual by Nathaniel Whittock, published in London in 1844 for amateurs and jobbing artists learning to paint portrait miniatures on card, vellum and ivory. Plates move from isolated eyes, noses and ears in hatched outline to soft pencil studies of heads in profile and three-quarter view, plus facial-angle diagrams and caricature types useful as anatomical reference or period portrait fragments.
