Old Master Drawings at The Frick.

With an eye towards our "In the Grand Manner" exhibition next year in partnership with the old master dealer Jean-Luc Baroni, I went to the Frick Collection last night for a talk on "From Watteau to Degas", their show of drawings from the Frits Lugt collection in Paris.

Included are drawings and watercolors by well-known masters of the French School such as Watteau, Boucher, Fragonard, David, Ingres, and Degas, as well as by important figures who are less familiar to the general public. This is the first time that a group of French master drawings from the collection has traveled to New York.

Shown here are two highlights from the show, Standing woman Seen From Behind by Francois Boucher and Studies of Seven Heads by Watteau.

These works looked fantastic in the Frick and it wetted the appetite for how such drawings and paintings will look when complimented with selected pieces of furniture from the Carlton Hobbs collection for "In The Grand Manner".
