"The Smith College Museum of Art in Northampton, Massachusetts, is widely acknowledged to have one of the most important college art collections in America, and one of its areas of extraordinary strength is its renowned collection of master drawings. This volume presents sixty-eight great sheets, all reproduced in full color, including many versos. Covering six centuries of brilliant draftsmanship, it ranges from a rare silverpoint drawing of the late fifteenth century, one of the most celebrated of all early Netherlandish portrait drawings, attributed to Dieric Bouts, to a 1954 watercolor by Mark Tobey. Interestingly, many of the drawings relate to works in other mediums also in the collection of the Smith College Museum of Art."--BOOK JACKET.
