Never let your Drapery be too much disordered and embarassed with Folds: On the contrary, let these only be seen in such places, as are drawn, or held back, by the Hands and Arms; letting the rest hang at large, or fall naturally and unconstrained. Now the best course you can here take, will be to Copy from Natural; thus for instance, if it be a Woollen Drapery that you wou'd represent, design its Folds from a stuff of the same kind; so if you wou'd have it appear of Silk, or some other fine stuff, or even of a coarse Country Kersey for your Clowns to appear in, observe the same rule; and diversifie every one, by the Form and Manner of its Folds; declining the ordinary Practice of Painters in this respect, who use to design their Draperies from Models covered with Paper or thin Skins; a Method in which they lie extremely lyable to be imposed upon.
