The collection of Old Master drawings at Chatsworth House in Derbyshire is among the finest in the country, boasting some 1,800 works by the likes of Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Rubens and many more. Owing to their fragility, only a fraction of the collection is shown at Chatsworth at any one time – meaning that this display of 64 drawings at the Lightbox in Woking (until 5 December), including works by Rembrandt, Poussin and Van Dyck, is the largest in more than 20 years. Find out more from the Lightbox’s website.
