This is a Drawing. It is dated 1825 and we acquired it in 1911. Its medium is pen and chinese ink, brush and watercolor, graphite on paper. It is a part of the Drawings, Prints, and Graphic Design department.
Sarah and Eleanor pursued purchases from important European collections, including those owned by Giovanni Piancastelli and Jean Léon Decloux, to expand the museum’s holdings of works on paper. These rich collections represented not only the work of influential artists, but also depictions of decorative arts and architecture valuable to the study of design.
