Old Master and British Drawings

The January 27th Old Master and British Drawings sale includes works from the late 15th through 19th Century.  Among the earliest works are rare examples by Marcantonio Raimondi, Giovanni Francesco Penni – both artists in the circle of Raphael, and another artist in the circle of Filippino Lippi.  Dutch artists are well represented by exceptional works by Maaerten van Heemskerck and Adriaen van de Velde (the latter formerly in the collection of the late Dr. Anton Dreesmann), as well as a group of drawings from the Estate of Eric Martin Wunsch.  There is a lovely group of French drawings which span from the 17th Century (Claude Lorrain) through the 19th Century (Theodore Gericault).  There are several fine works by some of the most important British draughtsman such as John Constable, J.M.W. Turner and Samuel Palmer, all of which come from private American collections.
