1789.Not identified.
1790.Not identified.

Those drawings from Woodburn’s own collection remain-
ing with his legatee after the sales of 1854 weredisposed of
following the sale of the Lawrence Collection in186 0:The

11 45.Apuzzling reference; Michelangelo is not known to
have treated this subject.

11 46. 1854 - 1788?


  1. 1854 - 1787 .See 1854 - 1787 for further details.
    11 48. 1854 - 1786.

  2. 1854 - 1785 ?. From the price realised, this must have
    been an impressive sheet. The discrepancy in price between
    1854 and186 0is surprising if the two items are identical.
    11 50.Ottley,Italian School,plate facing p. 27 /Unidentified
    in the 1830 inventory/ Unexhibited in 1836 /J. C. Robin-
    son/Malcolm 66 /BM W 34.
    Because this drawing does not bear Lawrence’s stamp, can-
    not be identified in the 1830 inventory, was unexhibited in
    1836 ,and cannot be traced in the King of Holland’s collec-
    tion, it is one of very few drawings by Michelangelo or his
    studio owned by Ottley that did not pass to Lawrence. It
    waspresumably acquired by Woodburn directly or indirectly
    from whomever acquired it from Ottley.
