The works of Jonathan Richardson : containing I. The theory of painting. II. Essays on the art of criticism, so far as it relates to painting. III. The science of a connoisseur
Collected art-theory writings of the English portrait painter and connoisseur Jonathan Richardson, gathered with a life by Horace Walpole and printed in London in 1792 for painters, collectors and connoisseurs. Plates are engraved portrait heads in soft hatched tone, chiefly three-quarter and profile busts, bound with strongly patterned blue, yellow and black stone-marbled endpapers usable as backgrounds and texture fills.
