(23.3 x 30.2 x 1.3 cm). Regarded as one of the leading portraitists and watercolorists of the Gilded Age, the expatriate John Singer Sargent was also a consummate draftsman. He drew prolifically and precociously from a young age, as evidenced by this sketchbook, which he used while traveling in Germany in 1871-72, at age fifteen. Sargent filled many of the pages with his exercises in copying classical statuary from the famous plaster cast collection of Dresdens Albertinum museum. The sketches show a variety of approaches, from broad, linear strokes to refined tonal modeling. American Art 1871-1872

Thayendanegea or Joseph Brant was a Mohawk military and political leader, based in present-day New York, who was closely associated with Great Britain during and after the American Revolution. In 1775, after the battles at Lexington and Concord, the Six Nations met to discuss their role in the burgeoning War for independence. While many advocated for neutrality, almost prophetically, Brant predicted that independence for the colonists meant that the natives across the North American continent would lose their land. Brants argument, along with Sir William Johnsons influence, succeeded in conv

Henry Bunbury Esq-r., Youngest Son of the late Sir William Bunbury Engraver Thomas Blackmore British After Sir Joshua Reynolds British Sitter Henry William Bunbury British ca. 1769 Blackmore's print is based on a portrait by Reynolds and shows the subject at the age of fifteen or sixteen, holding a portfolio in a landscape (the related painting of 1765-66 is untraced). Bunbury's artistic gifts were evident from youth, as he amused fellow students with humorous drawings at Westminster School, London, then at St. Catharine's College, Cambridge. As the younger son of Sir William Bunbury, 5th Baronet, Bunbury's income as an adult came mostly from serving the Duke of York as equerry. He showed drawings at the Royal Academy between 1770 and 1806 as an "honorary exhibitor"-his submissions were not for sale-and is remembered for many literary and satirical designs turned into prints by professional etchers.
