Nollekens and His Times: Comprehending a Life of That Celebrated Sculptor, and Memoirs of Several Contemporary Artists
ISBN: 9781108068963 / Angielski / Miękka / 442 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The sculptor Joseph Nollekens (1737 1823) was famed for his portrait busts of leading figures of his day.
