    Tenofthe drawings by or attributed to Michelangelo in
    this sale do not seem to have been among those exhibited
    in 1836 .These are 1850 - 108 , 1850 - 114 , 1850 - 15 0, 1850 - 153 ,
    1850 - 160 , 1850 - 161 , 1850 - 165 , 1850 - 237 , 1850 - 238 , 1850 -
    251 .Aneleventh, 1850 - 128 ,mayhave been shown in 1836 ,
    butthe identification is uncertain.
    Of the fifty-nine drawings by or attributed to Michelan-
    gelo from the 1836 exhibition acquired from Woodburn by
    William II in February 1838 ,towhich must be added the
    Epifaniaacquired in August 1838 ,tototal sixty, two cannot
    securely be identified in the 1850 sale. These are 1836 - 24 ,
    and 1836 - 26 .Given the sparse and sometime demonstrably
    inaccurate descriptions in the 1850 sale catalogue, the iden-
    tification of several others must be approximate.
