Specialist note


Betty Elzea dates this drawing to circa 1869, during the period when Sandys was mostly strongly influenced by and aligned with the Pre-Raphaelites. The sitter appears to be the young Norwich woman Marianne Shingles, who also sat for La Belle Jaune Giroflée and Hero, as well as for Sandys' sister, Emma.
