Study of a man, bust-length, in a plumed hat, traditionally called Macbeth

This drawing is no. 93 in the De Pass Large Volume sold in these Rooms, 22 February 1966, lot 40, and is an early study of Macbeth. It relates to another study for the head of Macbeth which was in the collection of Laurence Romney, the artist's great-nephew, and later that of Walter Brandt.
