Master Drawings from 1540 to 1790

March 2026
Tyr Baudouin & Jonathan den Otter, 2026

 

On the occasion of our inaugural participation in the Salon du Dessin, held in Paris at the Palais Brongniart from 24 to 30 March 2026, we are proud to present our most recent publication, Master Drawings from 1540 to 1790, written and published in collaboration with our fellow drawings dealer and friend, Jonathan den Otter. 

 

Ranging from a study after an antique sculpture by Frans Floris to a botanical study in preparation for a print by Johan Christiaan Sepp, the works in this catalogue - however diverse in technique, function, subject matter or style - are all, in their own, way a reflection of our taste and our exacting standards towards condition and rarity. These drawings, now temporarily brought together (and perhaps, in some cases, bien etonnés de se trouver ensemble, as the French say), will in time find new homes in private and institutional collections the world over. We are curious to see where they end up.

 

It was a true pleasure finding, acquiring, researching and publishing these works, many of which were longtime hidden or even entirely unknown. We hope you derive at least as much pleasure from looking at them.
