Mia Weiner has been in the business of selling old master drawings and oil sketches since 1979 and has regularly held exhibitions in New York since then. She was the forerunner in America of private old master drawings dealers and the first to publish a comprehensive web site of Old Master Drawings. Until 1994 she mounted exhibitions in her private New York gallery, sometimes theme orientated such as Regarding the Antique as well as Emilian Drawings 16th - 18th Century, which coincided with a paintings exhibition of the same subject at the Metropolitan Museum. She has participated in a number of international fairs since 1990, in New York, London and Parma. Several of these fairs she helped to organize; many times she served on their vetting committees. Presently she exhibits every January as part of Master Drawings in New York. She also serves on the board of the Art & Antique Dealers League of America.

Included among Mia N. Weiner's clients are many European and American Museums as well as private collectors. Her first significant discovery, a rare and large sheet by Paris Bordone, was acquired by the British Museum in 1979. Many subsequent discoveries have been well placed including drawings by Barocci, Bernini, Annibale Carracci, Cigoli, Pietro da Cortona, Guercino, Mola, Passarotti, Preti, Reni, Ribera, Rembrandt, Tanzio da Varallo, and both Zuccari, for example.

Though specializing in Italian drawings of the 16th and 17th centuries, Ms. Weiner has always carried interesting and beautiful sheets of other European Schools, primarily from the 15th through 18th centuries. Examples shown here include the charming chiaroscuro drawing by Abraham Bloemaert, the haughty portrait of the Duc de Maine by Pierre Mignard, the large and splendid Rivergods by the Swedish Sevenbom, the exquisite portrait study of Madame de Pompadour's brother, Abel Poisson, the Marquis de Maringny by Louis Tocqué, as well as several works inspired by Hans van Aachen.

Weiner accessible to both old friends and a new audience. In the event you are looking for a drawing by a particular artist or of a specific subject, please contact us.
