A Musical Party

Private Collection, Ohio, until 2021.
Exhibited:

This drawing by an anonymous, 16th-century German hand presents a delightful scene of nymphs—mostly nude but some draped with cloth—making music in an outdoor setting. The composition is executed within a roundel and centers on the harpsichord played by the figure seen from behind. She is accompanied by a host of other instruments, including horns, a harp, and a lira da gamba played by figures gathered nearby, several of which are positioned along the curved edges of the visual field. Two satyrs observe the merrymaking—one leans on the harpsichord while the other holds aloft a cup, presumably of wine, adding a bacchic element to the revelry.
The drawing was previously owned by Dr. George Hamilton, scholar of modern art and Director of the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute in Williamstown (1966–1977). Hamilton played...

Old Master drawing of Saint Jerome and his lion
Located in Cotignac, FR
16th Century Old Master ink drawing of St Jerome and his lion attributed to Maertyn de Vos. Very fine detail and with brown ink framing lines.
St. Jerome as penitent in the desert, half naked, kneeling before a crucifix and holding a stone in his hand to beat his breast; a skull (and other 'Vanitas' symbols), a lion beside him.
Maerten de Vos, Maerten de Vos the Elder or Marten de Vos (1532 – 4 December 1603) was a Flemish painter, principally a painter of religious scenes and to a lesser extent of mythological and allegorical themes. Romantic Italianate landscapes appear often in his backgrounds as in this drawing. He was also an accomplished portrait painter. In the 1580s he produced multiple designs for prints and book illustrations. Beginning with Mannerism, his style evolved to become clear and descriptive, which perfectly corresponded to the ideas of the Counter-Reformation.
De Vos made designs for the Antwerp publishers Plantin Press. These included designs for the Breviarium Romanum and the Missale Romanum...
