Sarah Cantor, The McGuigan Collection Research Fellow (2023-24), will speak about the historic collection of drawings bequeathed to Bowdoin College by James Bowdoin III in 1811. Cantor will discuss the practice of drawing between the Renaissance and eighteenth century and will speak to James Bowdoin III’s reasons for bequeathing these works—together with important paintings—to the College he helped establish. In conjunction with Cantor’s presentation, select drawings will be shared with the public.
