Specialist note

Although it is not possible to relate the present studies to a specific painting, the sheet belongs to the early years of Tissot’s activity when the artist often treated scenes in a Northern Renaissance setting (see C. Wood, Tissot. The Life and Works of Jacques Joseph Tissot 1836-1902, London, 1986, pp. 19-29).
