Summary

"Catalogue of Valuable Paintings and Water Colors Mostly of the Modern Dutch School" by A. Augustus Healy, Esq. is an early 1900s auction catalog presenting a private art collection, with a major focus on the modern Dutch school. The catalog acts as a guide for a public sale, listing paintings and watercolors, giving details like the medium, size, and what the art shows, such as daily life, landscapes, and Dutch scenes; its purpose is to inform potential buyers about the artistic and historical value of each piece by artists such as David Adolphe Constant Artz, Henri Harpignies, and Anton Mauve. The document now acts as a historical snapshot, reflecting the artistic tastes of the time.
