Old Master Drawings

As a market leader in Old Master Drawings, Christie’s offer a wide range of European drawings by 15th- to 19th-century artists, regularly achieving auction records for works by many of history’s greatest draughtsman, from Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael to Francisco de Goya, Anthony van Dyck and Jean-Honoré Fragonard.

Christie’s is the only auction house to present drawings throughout the year across its three international salerooms, with dedicated auctions in New York and Paris, and selling alongside Old Master Paintings in London. A focus on quality, scholarship and distinguished provenance ensures that these sales attract a wide audience of collectors and public institutions.

Alongside auctions, the department offers a bespoke private sales service, providing our clients with flexibility and discretion when buying or selling works of art outside of the auction calendar.

Please contact one of the department’s specialists based in London, New York and Paris for any enquiries.
