N.B. Despite the notations mentioned above, current research has not been able to attribute this portrait to Raeburn or to confirm the sitter’s identity. Although Raeburn is known to have painted Lady Dalrymple (now in the Tate Collection) and Elizabeth Dalrymple, the catalog of portraits created by J.L. Caw (published in 1901) does not list a portrait of Margaret. The sitter does not resemble other likenesses of Margaret Dalrymple Elphinstone, when compared to documented portraits in English collections. $800-1,200

395A Attributed to François Joullain (French, 1697-1778) Apollon Écorchant Marsyas Inscribed “Veronesi” in pencil on the supporting paper, with a collector’s stamp from Sir Joshua Reynolds l.r. Red chalk and pencil on paper, 10 5/8 x 13 3/4 in. (27.0 x 35.0 cm), framed. Condition: Creasing, with a fine pencil grid superimposed on the drawing, sheet mounted at intervals along the perimeter of the reverse to a supporting sheet decorated as a French mat. Provenance: A New York estate. N.B. This drawing is after an oil painting originally attributed to Paolo Veronese, now described as School of Veronese. The painting was part of the renowned collection of Baron Pierre Crozat (French, 1661-1740) which was acquired for the Hermitage in 1772 from Pierre Crozat’s descendants. The painting of Apollo and Marsyas has been in the collection of the Pushkin Museum since 1924. The engraving Apollon Écorchant Marsyas was made by François Joullain in the 18th century for the Crozat Gallery. Examples of the engraving may be found in major museums, including the Harvard Art Museums, Cambridge, the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the Bibliotèque Nationale de France. The drawing at hand appears to be done in a dry and exacting style and has been squared for transfer. Because no other artist is credited in the engraving as having drawn the image, it is thought that this drawing could be by the hand of the engraver, Joullain. The collector’s stamp is that of Sir Joshua Reynolds (British, 1723-1792) (L.2364). Reynolds may have acquired the drawing on a trip to Paris. $800-1,200

End of Sale 3000B
Provenance: A New York estate. N.B. Although the inscription on the reverse of this drawing references Correggio, it does not appear that the image relates to or is copied after the artist. The figure is accompanied by the skull and unguent jar, objects typically associated with Mary Magdalene. The work is painstakingly drawn, with very fine crosshatching to create shading as typically seen in etching. The collector’s mark in the form of a leaf is very similar to Lugt 3539, which Frits Lugt describes as an unidentified mark found on 17th century Italian drawings. $800-1,200
