The Old Master paintings and drawings collected by <strong>Yves</strong> <strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Laurent</strong> and <strong>Pierre</strong><br />
<strong>Bergé</strong> were handed down to them by others who had loved and protected these<br />
masterpieces before them; the Goncourt brothers, for instance, who owned the<br />
fascinating Portrait of a Man by Jacques-Louis David; the 18th-century opera singer who<br />
owned Gainsborough’s portrait of a fellow singer; the refined European art amateurs<br />
who owned the Frans Hals. The other common denominator, other than fascinating<br />
provenance, of the Old Master paintings and drawings in this collection is that they all<br />
focus on the human figure.<br />
