EXHIBITION OF FRENCH AND ITALIAN DRAWINGS AT FOGG

An exhibition of rare French and Italian drawings of the eighteenth century from the collection of Richard Owen, the Parisian expert and connoisseur, is new being shown at the Fogg Museum and will remain there until Wednesday.

Mr. Owen's drawings are being shown for the first time in this country in the present exhibition. Sixty-five works in all are being exhibited and the list of artists includes several well-known names.

Among the artists represented are Boucher with seven drawings in colored chalks, Fragonard with four, and Watteau with four, Hubert Robert with 12 drawings in pen and wash, Ouardi with two drawings in sopia, and the younger Tiepole with three.

Many of the drawings are studies for plates in the illustrated French books of the period. Boucher's drawing of a young woman for the "Fables" of La Fontaine is an excellent example of this type of work.
