Join curatorial fellow Talitha Maria G. Schepers for an interactive talk on Thursday, May 18 that explores why 17th-century Dutch artists decided to draw female nudes from life, the conventions they broke while doing so and why they used blue paper. The talk will focus on a recent installation of Dutch drawings in the 17th-Century Dutch and Flemish Art Gallery (2300).
