Walter Richard Sickert, A.R.A. (1860-1942)

Based on the character of Lady Glencora, in the Palliser novels of Anthony Trollope, this work forms part of the series of Echo paintings that Sickert executed after Victorian designs. A similar study was sold at the Peter Langan sale at Christie's, South Kensington, 19 December 2012, lot 62 (W. Baron, Sickert Paintings and Drawings, New Haven and London, 2006, p. 506, no. 611.1). Another version of the painting is in the collection of Gloucester Art Gallery.
