Item History & Price
In the past month of April, I was contacted by a colegue-friend of Paris, mentioning a collection of Italian drawings from an old English collection were coming on the market through a Milanese dealer I know well. Finaly, I acquired this collection, showing a variety of Italian drawings, datable from the early 17th till the late 18th century. This fine collection will come on the market during the following weeks.n 1632, of Guido Reni's "Madonna and Child with Saints and Saint Jerome...". The young artist quickly assimilated Guido's style and soon received important commissions.An added page bares the inscription "Con ts Lindsay" (this refers to James Lindsay, the 24th Earl of Crawford. Further inscriptions reveal the early (English) provenance of the collection. Finaly, another inscription tells us that the collection was bought in Italy in the year 1825 (a copy of this page will be added on request).
