This column discusses an exhibition at The Fogg Art Museum of Harvard University. The show, running until February 25, features 64 drawings from the private collection of Curtis O. Baer, never before made public. The collection spans from a 16th-century Florentine red-chalk drawing to works by Oskar Kokoschka. It includes studies by masters such as Tiepolo, Murillo, Ruisdael, Rembrandt, Poussin, Ingres, and Pissarro — many of which were preparatory sketches for famous paintings. The article notes Mr. Baer’s careful preservation of the drawings, removing them from light only for close inspection.
