拍卖简介

Together with an important newly discovered study by Michelangelo for the Sistine Chapel ceiling, the live sale of Old Master and British Drawings will feature works from the 16th to the 20th Centuries from the Italian, French, Northern, and British schools.

Among the highlights of the Italian school are a rare drawing by Giovanni Battista Piranesi, a powerful pen and ink study by Agostino Carracci and a selection of important Venetian drawings from a distinguished European collection. French drawings include the portraits of Marie Marecotte and Alexandre Legentil drawn by Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres in 1846. Among the Northern drawings are an important landscape with a Ruined cottage overgrown with bushes by Rembrandt and a very rare double-sided sheet by his son Titus. The 19-century section features an impressive pair of gouaches by Gustave Doré that document the first ascent of Mount Matterhorn in 1865. Highlights among the British drawings are a watercolor by John Sell Cotman and an important drawing by William Blake.
