Born in Toulouse, Dulac studied at the Académie Julian in Paris, before settling in London in 1904. On his arrival, his first commission was from the publishers J.M. Dent to illustrate seven novels of the Brontë sisters with 60 plates over ten volumes. The costumes and style of this drawing, which are very similar to those illustrations, suggests that it was probably an unused design for the project.
