Shepherd & Derom hosts Margot Gordon and Crispian Riley-Smith, the organizers of Master Drawings New York. Amongst the highlights of their seventh joint exhibition are two gouaches on vellum by Jacob-Philipp Hackert (1737 - 1807). Commissioned by Hackert’s patron,Chevalier Jean- Louis- Antoine le Vaillant de Demaery, these works have been known previously only through prints and are rare examples reflecting the artist’s 1764 sojourn in Sweden. Also known only through prints until now is Faith (circa 1590), a recently discovered drawing by Flemish draughtsman Crispijn van de Passe I.

The exhibit features a selection of portrait studies of various periods, including A Young Man in Red Hat, attributed to Lorenzo Lotto by Bernard Berenson. Old Master drawings are represented by a primo pensiero of Virgin and Child with St. Jerome by Andrea Sacchi, an illum ination from the circle of Jean Poyet, a double - sided drawing by Tuscan goldsmith Giovanni Catesi, and a pen- and - ink study by Raphael. Amongst the twentieth century offerings is a fully - realized head study of a sensuous young woman by Gemito dated 1915 and, from mid -century, a Reuben Nakian study for a sculpture.
