SIR EDWIN HENRY LANDSEER, R.A. (LONDON 1802-1873)

This drawing relates to an oil painting of 1820, executed when Landseer was only seventeen years old. The picture was the largest and most ambitious he had thus far attempted, depicting two Saint Bernards standing over a fallen traveller. It was sold in these Rooms, 7 December 2017, lot 36. This drawing, dated 1821, is not a study for the painting, but a further sketch exploring the subject.
