This image shows a single, aged, and torn page from a newspaper or museum bulletin, mounted on a light-colored mat board. The paper is visibly yellowed and brittle, with rough, irregular edges, especially along the left side and bottom, suggesting it has been cut or torn from a larger publication and perhaps handled over time.

The page features three distinct columns of text, all concerning the Fogg Art Museum. The paper appears to be from Harvard University, as "Harvard University" is written in a cursive hand at the top of the left column and "Harvard Bulletin" is printed at the top of the right column, dated "Mar. 5, 1910."

Right Section: A Rembrandt Drawing Has Been Bought

• Title: "A Rembrandt Drawing Has Been Bought. Other Accessions."
• Content:
  • The Fogg Museum has recently purchased a superb drawing by Rembrandt, titled "Joseph in the Carpenter's Shop," now on exhibition in the print room.
  • The drawing depicts Joseph standing at his workbench with the Virgin, with the infant Christ on her lap, sitting at one side with arms outstretched. Another figure, possibly Joseph’s wife, is seated at the right, falling through a window, lighting the other figures, which are done in brown wash. The drawing is executed in brown wash with lines to indicate outlines and contours.
  • The drawing measures 7 1/2 by 9 inches and is a splendid example of Rembrandt's mastery in the particulars of his art. It belonged formerly in the collections of Lord Warwick and Sir Thomas Lawrence.

These etchings and drawings provide an exceptional opportunity to study one phase of the work of this great master.

The first is a beautiful "Holy Family" by Pinturicchio (1454–1513), which has suffered in past years but has been restored. The painting is rich in color and fine in suggestion. The Borgia apartments in Rome, which were so splendidly decorated by this master, are pictured in the background.
  • The other painting is an interesting little Flemish picture of St. Luke painting the Madonna, under the influence of Michel Angelo. It was probably executed in the work of the period and is an example of the mastery of the period.
  • Probably additions have been made to the museum's collection of Italian paintings at three exhibitions about the year 1555.
