ENGLISH SCHOOL, 18TH-CENTURY Album with approximately 60 pencil portrait drawings mainly of artists.
Each on cream laid paper mounted on card stock. Including more than 30 portraits of artists from Jan van Eyck to Stefano della Bella, the majority portraits of 17th-century Dutch artists. Various sizes and conditions.
With provenance attribution on the front free fly leaf to the late 17th-century drawing collector Sebastiano Resta in pencil; although this album, which contains only portrait drawings that are seemingly by the same hand, appears to be unlike the multi-artist, various subject albums created by Resta.
