Henri Testelin's *Anmerckungen Der Fürtrefflichsten Mahler unserer zeit über die Zeichen-und Mahlerey-Kunst zusammen getragen, Und in Sechs Tablellen, von der Delineation, Proportion, Expression, Leicht und Schatten Ordonanz...* (1699) is a detailed guide to drawing and painting. This page from the book focuses on expressions, depicting various facial expressions in pen and ink on paper. The expressions include joy, sadness, disgust, wonder, and more. The piece is a testament to Testelin's skill as a teacher and his understanding of human emotions.
