A Connoisseur's Portfolio: Nineteenth-century Drawings and Watercolors in the Walters Art Gallery

About the exhibition

The Walters Art Gallery in Baltimore presented A Connoisseur's Portfolio: Nineteenth-century Drawings and Watercolors in the Walters Art Gallery in 1983. The exhibition presented nineteenth-century drawings and watercolours from the Walters Art Gallery, including landscape, figure subjects and still life. The documented selection includes Théodore Rousseau’s Landscape with Cottage (ca. 1865; watercolor with crayon over graphite underdrawing on beige, moderately thick, moderately textured laid paper) and Mariano Fortuny’s The Rare Vase (1870; watercolor and opaque watercolor with selectively applied glaze over traces of charcoal (?) on paper). The identified works form a partial checklist. Exact opening and closing days and the remaining works require further catalogue research.
