FOREWORD
HERE is nothing more fascinating to the lover of the arts than
working through a collection of artist’s studies, for aside from
the pleasure inherent in every individual piece, he is bound to
find a number of surprises and to make some discoveries which give ample
reward for his efforts. This collection has offered a number of such
surprises. ‘The expected discoveries, however, were not to be mine, and
for the reason that they had already been made and attested to by an
excellent authority who had passed upon this collection before I had my
opportunity of examination.
One of the greatest surprises was the finding of the exquisite study
for the shepherd by Giulio Campagnola on the reverse of the Beccafumi
drawing. It is hardly necessary to state that the reverse is many times
more valuable than the design shown on the front. Another such surprise
was the finding of the magnificent Moeller drawing, whose authenticity
has already been well established and which I may safely describe as prob-
ably the finest specimen known of that highly-interesting artist, whose
drawings are so very rare.
As I have only recently stated in another publication, the name of
the artist to whom an old drawing has been ascribed should be only of
secondary importance. Collectors should buy for the intrinsic artistic
merit of the design, as the most famous name, combined with all docu-
mentary proof as to the pedigree, does not make a drawing valuable
unless the artistic qualities can justify the author’s name. On the other
hand, drawings having artists’ names of lesser importance, or of a period
that does not interest us very much, may have artistic qualities which
render them highly attractive to the connoisseur. Thus we find here
amongst the work of such a period—the Italian work of the XVIIth
century—some specimens of unusual beauty and importance. I need
only mention the two exquisite Domenichino drawings and those by
Pietro da Cortona.
It would lead too far to mention here every item worthy of special
attention. As a whole the collection is considerably above the average of
one which, without being devoted to any special school or period, covers
the entire field—old masters as well as modern artists. All collections
naturally contain specimens which are not of the quality of the majority,
but here there are relatively few representatives of a class far below the
good average standard, while there are quite a number of items that rank
considerably above the average.
Of the older Masters, I would especially mention the Cellini, the one
of the School of Raphael, the Tintorettos, the Ribera, the Rembrandt, the
excellent Boucher and the Gainsboroughs ; of the modern drawings, those
by Corot, Jacque, Mauve and Millet, are especially fine, the magnificent
cartoons by Sir Frederick Leighton deserving special attention.
The character of the entire collection interestingly illustrates the
discerning taste of its owner. He certainly did not concentrate his search
on famous names alone, although of course it was only natural that many
of these should also find their way into his hands.
As alluded to before, a great number of the drawings by the Old
Masters were submitted by the owner to a very high authority for
expertizing. With these attributions I am generally in accord, and in
those few cases where I felt inclined to suspect a different authorship, I
have adopted the attributions of this authority rather than my own.
With the exception of one case (the Lambert Doomer, previously
attributed to Hobbema), no new names have been given by me. In that
instance I felt justified to do so for the reason that I have recently seen a
number of drawings by this artist to which the one here bears a striking
resemblance, and also because the previous attribution was questioned in
the conscientious catalogue of Colonel Harrison. In those few cases
where I considered the suggested attribution not sufficiently substantiated
by the characteristic qualities of the artists named, I have attributed the ~
drawings to an *‘ unknown author.” :
R. EDERHEIMER.
New York, January 15th, 1914.
Conditions of Sale
1. Any bid which is merely a nominal or fractional advance may be rejected by the
auctioneer, if in his judgment, such bid would be likely to affect the sale injuriously.
2. The highest bidder shall be the buyer, and if any dispute arise between two or
more bidders, the auctioneer shall either decide the same or put up for re-sale the lot so
in dispute.
3. Payment shall be made of all or such part of the purchase money as may be
required, and the names and addresses of the purchasers shall be given immediately

put up again and re-sold.
Payment of that part of the purchase money not made at the time of sale, shall be
made within ten days thereafter, in default of which the undersigned may either con-
tinue to hold the lots at the risk of the purchaser and take such action as may be
necessary for the enforcement of the sale, or may at public or private sale, and with-
out other than this notice, re-sell the lots for the benefit of such purchaser, and the
deficiency (if any) arising from such re-sale, shall be a charge against such purchaser.
4, Delivery of any purchase will be made only upon payment of the total amount
due for all purchases at the sale.

and on other days—except holidavys—between the hours of 9 A. M. and 5 P. M.

tion is in no wise engaged, and will not be performed by the Association for purchasers.

current and reasonable rates carriers and packers; doing so, however, without any
assumption of responsibility on its part for the acts and charges of the parties
engaged for such service.

responsible if such purchase be lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed.

the date of the sale thereof.

not noted. Every lot is on public exhibition one or more days prior to its sale, after
which it is sold “as is” and without recourse.
The Association exercises great care to catalogue every lot correctly, and will give
consideration to the opinion of any trustworthy expert to the effect that any lot has
been incorrectly catalogued, and, in its judgment, may either sell the lot as catalogued
or make mention of the opinion of such expert, who thereby would become responsible
for such damage as might result were his opinion without proper foundation.
SPECIAL NOTICE.
Buying or bidding by the Association for responsible parties on orders transmitted
to it by mail, telegraph or telephone, will be faithfully attended to without charge or
commission. Any purchase so made will be subject to the above Conditions of Sale,
which cannot in any manner be modified. The Association, however, in the event of

not, through himself or his agent, been present at the exhibition or sale, will permit
such lot to be returned within ten days from the date of sale, and the purchase money
will be returned, if the lot in any material manner differs from its catalogue descrip-
tion.
Orders for execution by the Association should be written and given with such
plainness as to leave no room for misunderstanding. Not only should the lot number
be given, but also the title, and bids should be stated to be so much for the lot, and
when the lot consists of one or more volumes of books or objects of art, the bid per
volume or piece should also be stated. If the one transmitting the order is unknown
to the Association, a deposit should be sent or reference submitted. Shipping direc-
tions should also be given.

by the Association at a reasonable charge.
