The last and largest part of the I.Q. van Regteren Altena Collection (Dutch & Flemish Drawings from 1500 to 1900) will be sold at Christie’s in Amsterdam, 91 lots in the morning session and 202 in the afternoon. The sale comprises around 450 drawings, because several lots include additional sheets. The highlight is a group of drawings by Jacques de Gheyn II and III (lots 105-112). Most of the 18th and 19th-century drawings in this sale have low estimates, from 800/1.200 euro (lot 79 with 13 drawings) – which is of course no guarantee that they will be sold for small amounts. Nevertheless, a golden opportunity for the small collector!
