The article discusses her role in building the Fogg’s collection of Italian drawings, her research on John Martin Brown’s drawings of Napoleon, and her ability to balance curatorial work with writing.
• Handwritten Note: A red handwritten note, possibly “Jan 15 1950,” appears below the date near the top.

2. Article (Top Right Column):

• Headline: “Boston Art Group To Extend Exhibit”
• Date: JAN 28 1950 (likely the date of the original newspaper publication, with “JAN 15 1950” written below, indicating this is a clipping from that later date)
• Content: This article announces that the Boston Art Group has decided to extend its 17th annual exhibition of Contemporary Art, originally scheduled to close on Feb. 2, to Feb. 6. The exhibit features works by 25 American and 8 foreign artists and is held at the Fogg Museum.

• Content: Reports on the potential loss of a “Tribute” exhibition to the Irish painters of the Boston Art Group. The article mentions that the exhibition may be moved to Dublin for a month due to lack of space in Boston, possibly because of a “Tribute to the French” exhibition scheduled for March 16.
