The present selection includes 120 works of outstanding quality by artists of all the principal schools of European draughtsmanship, beginning with two remarkable miniatures on vellum by the fifteenth-century Florentine painter Pesellino and ending with sheets by such twentieth-century masters as Picasso and Matisse. Many have never before been shown in this country."
