AN EARLY 19th CENTURY COLLECTION OF DRAWINGS (Lots 472-493) The following twenty-one lots were formerly in an album amicorum put together in the early 19th Century, almost certainly by Mary Ansley, an artist of German origin who exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy. Mrs. Ansley was a friend of Louis Napoleon (see lots 492-3) and may have known Delacroix during his time in London (a drawing by Delacroix from the same collection was sold at Christie's, New York, 22 January 2003, lot 104). The drawings share the following provenance: Mary Ansley, to her husband Colonel Benjamin Ansley (died 1842), to his brother-in-law Richard Collyer Andree, Stuttgart, by descent to General von Hermann, Stuttgart. Dr Georg Siegmund Graf Adelmann von Adelmannsfelden, by whom presented to the present owner.
