"This volume, fully illustrated, contains 130 Flemish and Dutch drawings of the golden century of Rubens and Rembrandt from the collection of The Pierpont Morgan Library, probably the largest such collection in the United States and certainly the peer of any other in quality. The drawings show signficant representative works of the artist of tht time, many of them forerunners, pupils, or followers of the two great masters. This is the first survey from the Morgan Library of any of the European schools of draughtsmanship represented in its collection, with essays, full provenances, and bibliographica references for each work. It is published on the occasion of a series of exhibitions of these drawings in Paris, Antwerp, London, and New York- the first time that the Morgan Library has shown such an extensive exhibition of its drawings in the United States or abroad. The author is Felice Stampfle, Curator of Drawings and Prints at The Pierpont Morgan Library."- Dust jacket.
