• Notes

  Rare first edition of a schoolbook on art, teaching beginners the basic rules of drawing and painting, especially in miniature. Eelke Jelles Eelkema, an artist himself, adapted the book after a French work by the miniaturist painter André Léon Larue (known as Mansion), for use of his own pupils. It contains 32 brief chapters covering a wide array of subjects: how to polish ivory, how to draw an old man’s face, how to choose the right brushes, how to paint velvet or lace, how to position and enlighten the model, etc.
