This selection of 64 drawings and watercolours is from the collection of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

It features notable works by many of the leading artists of the Low Countries, including Antony van Dyck and Peter Paul Rubens. The Royal Collection contains over 700 Dutch and Flemish drawings, mostly acquired by George III over 200 years ago, few of which have been exhibited before. Other artists represented in this book Hendrick Avercamp, Jacob van Ruisdael and Jan van der Straet. Over 40 artists are illustrated in total. This UK edition is published to accompany the exhibition's sole British showing at the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, 15 August to 15 October, 1995.

[Ann Keller · Rating 5 out of 5]

Outstanding book, filled with dozens of unique works of art. The attention to detail at that time, especially with the human form, was quite impressive.
