Piccini (Gaetano)

original drawings of ornamental designs most likely for metalwork, prime examples of Piccini’s creative output in the early 18th century, both drawn and engraved, of similar grotesque and mythological heads, as well as architectural details, geological samples and other subjects,

two drawings in pen and brown ink on 18th century laid paper, one watermarked with a fleur-de-lys in a single circle, each drawing with an ink double circle border, each c.125 mm (5 in) in diameter, both signed ‘Gaetano Piccini F.’ at the lower centre within the border,
