"In the history of art, Livio Odescalchi is only cited as the Roman prince who on 6 January 1692 bought en bloc the famous art collection of Queen Christina of Sweden. In 1789, exactly a century after the queen's death, Livio's descendants sold the collection of drawings to the Teyler Foundation in Haarlem, where it still is. Christina's holdings included 275 paintings and about 2,000 drawings: at his death the prince owned six times more paintings and five times more drawings. . . . An attentive reading of the inventory enables us to isolate the portion that passed to Haarlem and to identify it as the Christina portion. Circumstantial evidence thus confirms the Christina provenance of the Haarlem drawings, which has often been claimed but never proven."
