Note du spécialiste

Newton Bennet (1854-1914) was collaterally descended from Sir Isaac Newton and devoted himself to art from the age of seventeen, specialising in landscape paintings in both oil and watercolour. He was a friend of Alfred Fripp, Alfred Hunt and Alfred Hughes among other artists and worked in various locations around the British Isles including the New Forest.
The present drawing may be a study for the head of the left hand figure in Hughes' 1892 R.A. exhibit Viola d'Amore (whereabouts unknown).
