Publisher’s cloth, pictorial dust jackets. - Catalogues of the permanent collection of Italian drawing in the Prado, most of which are virtually unknown. The author’s “entries are brief and efficient, and usually provide the essential bibliographical leads to other drawings by the less familiar artists… Everyone interested in Italian Seicento and Settecento drawings should be grateful to her” (from a review by Ann Sutherland Harris, in Master Drawings, volume 23/24, 1985-1986, pp.411-415). ¶ Excellent, unmarked copies.
