#LiveLikeARockefeller: This drawing by Ingres was purchased by Abby Aldrich Rockefeller, who had an eye for the avant-garde.
.
‘Abby didn’t collect widely in Old Master drawings but she knew refinement when she saw it,’ explains Furio Rinaldi (@furiorinaldi), our specialist in New York. ‘She had a passion for modern art and recognised how influential Ingres was on later artists, like Matisse and Picasso.’
.
Research has revealed the sitter as Louise Sophia Enrietta Catharina Ritter, the sister-in-law of Johann Gotthard Reinhold, the Dutch ambassador to Rome in 1815. Reinhold also commissioned Ingres to draw his wife and daughters; that portrait is now in the Morgan Library, New York.
.
After Abby’s death, the Ingres drawing was passed down to her son Winthrop. It was later purchased from Winthrop’s estate by Abby’s youngest son, David.
