Description and Table of Contents

Description

Over the past decade one of the most important and comprehensive private American collections of early French drawings has been assembled. This volume presents a selection of 115 works dating from the early 17th century to the early 19th century by approximately 70 artists. In addition to remarkable drawings by well-known draftsmen such as Poussin, Lorrain, Watteau, Fragonard, and David, the book includes superb examples of the work of lesser-known figures. Mastery and Elegance has been written by a team of 35 international scholars. It accompanies an exhibition traveling to Toronto, Paris, Edinburgh, New York, and Los Angeles.
