**Perry Rathbone**  
Harvard University, 1905-1949

Three student drawings and a color study by Perry T. Rathbone (Harvard class of 1933; subsequently Director of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston from 1955-1972). Rathbone’s studies in drawing and color theory may well have been done in Fine Arts courses taught by Arthur Pope, who was on the Harvard faculty from 1905-1949.
