Specialist note


The present drawing is a study for Cayley Robinson's large mural-style painting for the entrance hall of the Middlesex Hospital. It was one of a series of 'Acts of Mercy' intended for the space, and was exhibited at the New English Art Club in 1915, where the critic from The Studio described it as 'a panel of much dignity and charm'.
