Galerie de Bayser

Galerie de Bayser

Founded in 1936 by Patrick and Rose-Anne de Bayser, Galerie de Bayser has always focused primarily on drawings, both for collectors, assisting them in their choices, and for major French and foreign institutions seeking rare pieces.

An extensive range of drawings, loose or framed, from all schools from the 16th to the 20th century is presented by Bruno and Thérèse de Bayser and their sons, who have taken over the family business.
