Drawings by British and European Artists 1600-1900

05 December 2011 - 22 December 2011

Agnew’s is delighted to announce a stunning exhibition of drawings and watercolours from the seventeenth to the nineteenth century. Early highlights include two beautiful drawings of around 1600 by Paul Bril, January and October, from his series Twelve Months of the Year, six others of which are in the Louvre. The star of the show must be the rare Domenico Tiepolo drawing, Venetian Couple Walking in the Rain, offering a humorous insight into mid-eighteenth-century Venetian life. French eighteenth-century drawings include sheets by Fragonard and Trinquesse. Later works comprise nineteenth-century British artists such as Turner and Burne-Jones, alongside French masters including Gericault and Delacroix.
