Robert von Hirsch acquired a remarkable collection covering many fields. His first purchase made in 1907 was La Rousse au Caraco blanc by Toulouse-Lautrec, his next a Scène de Rue by Picasso. In the late 1920s and 1930s, he established an unrivalled collection of Medieval and Renaissance works of art from the Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen collections, the Guelph treasure and the Hermitage sales. In 1933 he was granted permission to leave Germany for Basel with his entire collection, on condition that he would give to the nation his Judgement of Paris by Cranach (today in the Basel Kunstmuseum).
He and his wife's house on the Engelstrasse contained pictures and drawings of Dutch, German, Spanish and Italian orgins.

The 1978 sale included exceptional drawings by, among others, Dõrer, Raphael, Carpaccio, Pintoricchio, Rembrandt, Rubens, Tiepolo and Watteau and paintings by Tiepolo, Guardi, El Greco, Elsheimer and Rubens. This charming series of pictures were then offered as by Mariano Salvador Maella, 'probably preliminary sketches for a series of tapestry cartoons or possibly for frescoes in one of the Spanish royal Palaces'. That attribution however is not sustainable and the touch and palette suggest rather that they were executed by an artist working in the Veneto in the early 19th century, close in style to Bison.
