The collection includes objets d'art, paintings, drawings and old master prints, 
Though other departments contain significant numbers of drawings and prints, the Drawings and Prints department specifically concentrates on North American pieces and western European works produced after the Middle Ages.
The first Old Master drawings, comprising 670 sheets, were presented as a single group in 1880 by Cornelius Vanderbilt II and in effect launched the department, though it was not formally constituted as a department until later.
Other early donors to the department include Junius Spencer Morgan II who presented a broad range of material, but mainly dated from the sixteenth century, including 2 woodblocks and many prints by Albrecht Dürer in 1919.
Currently, the Drawings and Prints collection contains more than 17,000 drawings, 1.5 million prints, and twelve thousand illustrated books.
The great masters of European painting, who produced many more sketches and drawings than actual paintings, are extensively represented in the Drawing and Prints collection.
The department's holdings contain major drawings by Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and Rembrandt, as well as prints and etchings by Van Dyck, Dürer, and Degas among many others.
Lichtwitz Krasso attended the Academy of Art for Women from 1911 to 1916 in Vienna, Austria, also known as the Vienna Women's Academy.
At the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Budapest, Hungary, she earned a Master of Fine Arts degree in 1917.
She did postgraduate work at the State Textile School, and the State Institute of Graphical Arts at the University of Vienna.
At the university in Budapest, she learned all techniques of painting, ending with the Old Master technique.
From 1918 to 1938 she had her own studio in Vienna, where she taught students from 1925 to 1938.
Among the lithographs she created shortly after World War I were "Dance of Life" and "Resurrection."
Later, she created a series of lithographs entitled "We" showing the connection between "etchers" such as herself and city workers.
Among these drawings were "Our Song" and "The Demonstration.
"She was an assistant from 1933 to 1935 to Professor Franz Cižek, who founded the Child Art Movement.
She was especially influenced by Expressionism, which began in Germany and her native Austria during her childhood.
In 1939 she and her husband, Oscar T. Krasso, fled Austria for Mumbai (Bombay), India.
While there, she asked Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi for permission to sketch him in person.
At first, he refused, stating he did not seek publicity for himself, but when he heard that she was a refugee from her own country, he allowed her to make life sketches of him for one month.
From these drawings she created a 7' by 4 1/2' oil painting of Gandhi in the Old Master style in 1945.
The same year, she had a one-man show in Mumbai. 
The Courtauld Institute was founded in 1932 through the philanthropic efforts of the industrialist and art collector Samuel Courtauld, the diplomat and collector Lord Lee of Fareham, and the art historian Sir Robert Witt.
The art collection at the Courtauld was begun by Samuel Courtauld, who in the same year presented an extensive collection of paintings, mainly French Impressionist and Post-Impressionist works.
He made further gifts later in the 1930s and a bequest in 1948.
His collection included Manet's "A Bar at the Folies-Bergère" and a version of the "Déjeuner sur l'Herbe", Renoir's "La Loge", landscapes by Claude Monet and Camille Pissarro, a ballet scene by Edgar Degas and a group of eight major works by Cézanne.
Other paintings include van Gogh's "Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear" and "Peach Blossoms in the Crau", Gauguin's "Nevermore" and "Te Rerioa", and important works by Seurat, Henri "le Douanier" Rousseau, Toulouse-Lautrec and Modigliani.
Further bequests were added after the Second World War, most notably the collection of Old Master paintings assembled by Lord Lee, a founder of the Institute.
This included Cranach's "Adam and Eve" and a sketch in oils by Peter Paul Rubens for what is arguably his masterpiece, the "Deposition" altarpiece in Antwerp Cathedral.
Sir Robert Witt, also a founder of the Courtauld Institute, was an outstanding benefactor and bequeathed his important collection of Old Master and British drawings in 1952.
His bequest included 20,000 prints and more than 3000 drawings.
His son, Sir John Witt, later gave more English watercolours and drawings to the Gallery.
In 1958 Pamela Diamand, the daughter of Roger Fry (1866–1934), the eminent art critic and founder of the Omega Workshops, donated his collection of 20th-century art including works by Bloomsbury Group artists Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant.
In 1966 Mark Gambier-Parry, son of Major Ernest Gambier-Parry, bequeathed the diverse collection of art formed by his grandfather, Thomas Gambier Parry, which ranged from Early Italian Renaissance painting to majolica, medieval enamel and ivory carvings, and other types of art (see section below).
Dr William Wycliffe Spooner (1882–1967) and his wife Mercie added to the Gallery's collection of English watercolours in 1967 with a bequest of works by John Constable, John Sell Cotman, Alexander and John Robert Cozens, Thomas Gainsborough, Thomas Girtin, Samuel Palmer, Thomas Rowlandson, Paul Sandby, Francis Towne, J. M. W. Turner, Peter De Wint and others.
In 1974 a group of thirteen watercolours by Turner was presented in memory of Sir Stephen Courtauld, famous for restoring Eltham Palace, and the brother of Samuel Courtauld, one of the founders of the Institute.
In 1978 the Courtauld received the Princes Gate Collection of Old Master paintings and drawings formed by Count Antoine Seilern.
The collection rivals the Samuel Courtauld Collection in importance.
It includes paintings by Bernardo Daddi, Robert Campin, Bruegel, Quentin Matsys, Van Dyck and Tiepolo, but is strongest in the works of Rubens.
The bequest also included a group of 19th- and 20th‑century works by Pissarro, Edgar Degas, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Oskar Kokoschka.
More recently the Lillian Browse and Alastair Hunter collections have given the Courtauld more late 19th- and 20th‑century paintings, drawings and sculptures.
A collection of more than 50 British watercolours, including eight by Turner, was left to the Gallery by Dorothy Scharf in 2004. 
In 1921, he completed his first work essential to art historians, "Les marques de collections de dessins et d’estampes", the definitive repertory identifying the collector's marks and stamps on drawings and prints, with a short descriptive biography of each owner and a description of the particular collection; the work is the essential reference for establishing the provenance of Old Master drawings and prints.
In 1956 this first volume on collectors' marks was followed by a Supplément.
