This watercolour is the first of several versions of this subject - The Nativity Morning, an oil shown at the Royal Academy in 1916, probably shared its composition, while Our Lady of the Fruits of the Earth (sold in these Rooms, 15 December 2011, lot 23) repeats the essential design with some amendments to the details. John Christian suggested that the sheep looking over the wattle hurdling behind the Virgin must have been inspired by John Everett Millais' Carpenter's Shop (Tate).
