Drawings & Prints Collection April 21, 2007

Ranging from preparatory studies and sketches to finished works of art, the nearly ten thousand drawings in The Morgan Library & Museum's collection span the fourteenth through twentieth centuries. The primary focus is European drawings executed before 1825, but the Morgan's holdings include a growing number of nineteenth- and twentieth-century works on paper as well as drawings by American artists. In addition to a print collection of British political satires and portraits, about two hundred paintings, sculptures, medieval reliquaries and ceramics, the Morgan has the largest and most representative collection of Rembrandt etchings in the United States.
