Christies Auction house is only 5 blocks from GCA and this week there were a bunch of great 18th / 19th century drawings & paintings there. These are some (unprofessional) photos I took the other day.
A cast drawing by Thomas Eakins when he was a student in 1869!
These drawings were done by Lilian Wescott Hale (1881-1963) She was the sister of Robert Beverly Hale, who was curator at the Met & teacher of artistic anatomy at the Art Student's League before he died in 1985.
Joseph Henry Sharp (1859-1953) Aspen in Twining Canon

Albert Bierstadt (1830-1902) Mont Blanc

I don't think Lilian Westcott Hale was Robert Beverly Hale's sister. She was born as a Westcott in 1881 (20 years before RBH), and married artist Philip Leslie Hale in 1902. None of her biographies online mention RBH. I think this is just a misunderstanding.
Lovely drawings though.
