November, 1912
THE INTERNATIONAL STUDIO
acquired from Conte Luigi Balladoro, of
Verona, in 1888.
The circular drawing of the Annuncia-
tion Angel, probably a design for embroid-
ery by Filippino Lippi, came from the col-
lection of Sir Charles Eastlake. The little
pictures mounted on each side of the cen-
tral design, representing the Nativity and
the Epiphany, are by an unknown Floren-
tine of the first half of the sixteenth cen-
tury.
A number of the sixteenth and seven-
teenth century drawings were formerly in
the collection of the Earl of Warwick: The
Holy Family, by Baccio Bandinelli, a char-
acteristic but not too mannered work by
this rather unsympathetic artist; the pow-
erfully modeled Head of a Woman, by
Sebastiano del Piombo; an Apparition of
the Virgin, a masterly drawing by Tintor-
etto; the Head of a Young Man, by Anni-
bale Carracci; the view of a Bolognese
piazza, with an exhibition of fireworks
going on from the top of a tower, by Guer-
cino, and a very important Salvator Rosa,
a fantastic Scene of Sorcery—an incantation
The Metropolitan Museum of Art
HEAD OF A WOMAN
BY SEBASTIANO DEL PIOMBO
of witches before a fire the smoke of
which changes into a dragon, with all
sorts of diabolical things round about, con-
ceived and executed with great vigor and
abandon.
The Virgin and Child, by Procaccini, has
an expression of reverence and tenderness
rare for its epoch. The Sibyl, by Guercino,
is a study for the well-known painting in
the Uffizi. By Antonio Canale, called
Canaletto, is a large drawing of the Grand
Canal at Venice, notable for the precision
with which the lively scene of the canal
crowded with gondolas and the exact de-
tails of the many buildings are executed.
On the reverse of this drawing are two fig-
ures which Dr. Richter ascribes to the
hand of Tiepolo—a Saint Anthony and an
aged saint celebrating mass. This drawing
was purchased in 1887 from Signor Mylius,
of Genoa.
Two brilliant sketches by Guardi com-
plete the list. The first of these is a pen
drawing of the fagade of St. Mark’s, and
the other a wash drawing of the colonnade
of the Libreria, both of unusual charm.

MARATTA OIL COLORS
IN TUBES FOR ARTISTS’ USE
(Mixed according to the Maratta Law of Color)
IN PREPARING these pigments for artists’ use the utmost care has been taken in the selection
of metal oxides, earths and synthetic coloring matter to insure permanency. They are ground
in a blend of the best imported cold drawn Poppy and Linseed oils, and may be mixed without fear
of chemical reaction. The six COLORS and six HUES are based on the spectrum and form as in
music natural high and low scales, from which any arrangements of color may be made. Pigments
or paints are COLORS only in the same sense that noises or sounds are music. Sounds are put in
harmonical relation to each other with an INSTRUMENT. When the INSTRUMENT is
properly tuned, music may be produced. The MARATTA OIL COLORS are A TUNED IN-
STRUMENT FOR THE ARTIST.
Colors and information may be obtained direct or through your dealer
