Specialist note

Greenaway executed a number of similar portrait studies of young ladies seated in garden settings, such as The Garden Seat (Royal Albert Memorial Museum, Exeter) in which a girl sits reading on a bench, and Little Miss Prim in which Greenaway's landlady's daughter is illustrated seated with a bowl of red berries.
