"Harvard Shows Work by Little Dutch Masters

An exhibition of drawings by the Little Dutch Masters of the XVIIth century, who are often neglected by the Museum of Harvard University until now, opens today.

The drawings are from the collections of American collectors, and as a whole they are seldom on view. These more than fifty drawings, many of which are from private collections all over the country, have been gathered together to constitute a display of uncommon interest.

Although Rembrandt is present in the exhibition with two drawings on loan from the Fogg Museum, the rest of the exhibition is devoted to lesser-known masters. Landscapes are offered in the drawings of Van Goyen, Ruisdael, Hobbema, and Van de Velde. The figures of Eeckhout and William van de Velde are also included. The landscapes of Lucas de Heer, Nicholas Maes, and Jan van der Heyden are also represented. The genre can be studied in the sketches of Adriaen van Ostade, Gerard Terborch, Steen, Adriaen van de Velde, Caspar Netscher, and Gerard Dou. There are also drawings from the Morgan Library by Cornelius Dusart, which has done the water, and the genre drawings. The genre drawings are represented by Paul Potter and Adriaen van de Velde, and can be found in the sparkling studies of Jan van Huysum."
