Lot Essay

This drawing is similar in pose to one in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, which has been dated to circa 1850 (WA1962.72). It also has the same early signature, which suggests that it was intended for sale or as a gift.

We are grateful to Daniel Robbins for his help in preparing this catalogue entry.
