SOLD Agnes Raiche's Completed Krone's 1882 Primary Course Drawing Book indian bag to the winding path intoAs detailed on the inside of the front cover, this particular volume (#6) in a series of Krone's Paragon Series drawing books was designed to teach "more difficult" exercises in shading, including cross shading, solids, etc. On each page is a printed example, at left, which the student, in this case Agnes Raiche, was to redraw exactly. I find seeing the two versions side by side quite pleasing to the eye, and think our Agnes did quite a good job! 9 1
