ods made for his friends, especially Tommaso Cavalieri, and
the Marchesa di Pescara and those he had left in Florence
were,perhaps, the only ones which escaped. Many of his
sketches were till lately preserved in his house, still belong-
ing to the Family at Florence. The Cicciaporci family, as is
mentioned by Baldinucci, had others. A large proportion of
those contained in the present catalogue are from the above
collections.COMMENTARYI
T.Philipe and Co., London. 14 April18 03and seven days
following, except Sunday.
In this sale, ten lots (excluding lot 587 )were classed as
byMichelangelo. They comprised twenty-one drawings of
which seventeen were claimed to be autograph. Identifica-
tions can be proposed for only three drawings, that in lot 26
and two of the four in lot 27.
No Italian provenances are recorded. Drawings are listed
as from Sir Peter Lely (lot 22 ), Thomas Hudson (lot 23 ),
and no doubt Jonathan Richardson the Elder and Sir Joshua
Reynolds (lot 27 ).
It is unlikely that this sale contained any autograph draw-
ings by Michelangelo.
