F. E. Gurley of the University of Chicago. The collection is given to the Art Institute of Chicago in memory of Mr. Gurley's mother Leonora Hall Gurley and is a contribution to the possibilities for study in the field of drawing augmenting the excellent collections of painting in the Art Institute. The drawings listed in this catalogue are but a part of the Italian section of the gift — ^the first consignment from Mr. Gurley. The attributions are mostly those born by the drawings in former collections and catalogues. It is hoped to have them expertized when a suitable opportunity presents itself. The dimensions are given in inches and the lined margins are ignored: only the actual size of the paper on which the drawing is made being considered. The right perpen- dicular side of the paper is the measurement first given ; then follows that of the lower horizontal side.
