| Description | Tiffin writes that he is glad to answer Ruland's enquiries, and reports that at the first part of the Woodburn sale he bought an Adoration and a Study of Hands by Raphael; he is willing to send them to be photographed for the Prince Consort, but the latter has already been photographed for the South Kensington Museum.
A commission agent, Ensom, bought 'Alexander & Roxane', and Mr Morant of Bond Street bought another lot containing copies from Raphael. At the supplementary sale Tiffin bought more Raphael drawings: the Creation, the Procession to Calvary and the Virgin & Infant, which he still has and will allow to be photographed for HRH; The Virgin fainting and the Head of Helen he sold to Miss Woodburn; a Virgin & Child and a female head he bought for the British Museum.
He adds that a fine drawing of part of the Dispute of the Sacrament was bought by M. Gasc of Paris, who also bought a duplicate drawing of Alexander & Roxane. Otherwise he felt that this part of the collection 'had no pretension to originality'. |
