Dutch drawings (including Rembrandt) at the Morgan
 The Morgan Library & Museum on Friday opened an exhibition of more than 90 17th Century Dutch drawings, including four by Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn.
All the works in Rembrandt’s World: Dutch Drawings from the Clement C. Moore Collection are promised gifts to the Morgan and will eventually land in the museum’s permanent collection. For this show, they will be on view through April 29.
The exhibition features works by Ferdinand Bol, Gerbrand van den Eeckhout, Abraham Bloemaert, Aelbert Cuyp and Jan van Goyen on themes ranging from landscapes and marine views to animals and portraiture.
The Morgan Library & Museum is located at 225 Madison Ave. at 36th Street.
