Note du spécialiste

Holiday entered the Royal Academy schools at the age of fifteen, where he absorbed the elements of Pre-Raphaelitism and became friends with Albert Moore, Simeon Solomon, Edward Burne-Jones and William Morris. He went on to become the chief designer for the stained-glass manufacturers James Powell & Sons, in succession to Burne-Jones. The present drawing clearly shows the influence of Frederic, Lord Leighton in its delicate exploration of drapery.
